The Vatican said that Roman Catholic Pope Leo XIV, who recently had the lower lobe of his right lung removed during surgery for lung cancer, spent a good night in the hospital and had breakfast. He is currently in stable condition and recovering smoothly.

Pope Leo XIV underwent lung cancer surgery on October 13. The lower lobe of his right lung was removed and he was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma. Despite previous increases in transparency about health conditions, the diagnosis still shocked Catholics. The outside world is paying attention to his prognosis, treatment options and the impact on his reform agenda and visit to South America, especially considering his more than 20 years of living experience in Peru.

The Vatican announced that Pope Leo XIV underwent lung cancer surgery at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome to remove the lower lobe of his right lung. He recovered well after the operation and is expected to be hospitalized for a week. The Pope had previously publicly announced the news of the surgery in St. Peter's Square and planned to travel to Latin America in early November.

Pope Leo XIV was admitted to the Gemelli Hospital in Rome for lung surgery on May 13, and the lower lobe of the right lung was removed. The operation went smoothly without complications, but the resected tissue was diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma after pathological examination. The Vatican said it has not yet released information on the size of the tumor or whether it has spread to lymph nodes, and the pope has canceled all public events until October 20.

Pope Leo XIV underwent surgery to remove a pulmonary nodule at a Rome hospital today, and the operation was successfully completed. The Vatican statement stated that the operation met the estimated time and was carried out as planned. The Pope has returned to the ward and is expected to recover for about a week. This is the first time he has been hospitalized for surgery since he became a Catholic leader on May 8, 2025.

Pope Leo, 71, had a successful procedure to remove a small lung growth at Rome's Gemelli hospital on Tuesday, the Vatican confirmed, following his hospitalization for the first major health issue of his 17-month papacy.
