Vatican confirms Pope Leo has lung cancer
Pope Leo, 71, has been diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma after surgeons removed the lower lobe of his right lung during keyhole surgery at Rome's Gemelli Hospital. The Vatican publicly confirmed the cancer diagnosis, stating the prognosis is excellent as it was well contained and removed at an early stage. The Pope has cancelled all public events for a week but remains determined to proceed with his planned Central America tour in November.
