教宗良十四世於週日在聖彼得廣場陽台上首次公開宣布其肺癌診斷與手術決定,此前腫塊是在例行檢查中被發現。
梵蒂岡在一份醫療公告中表示,羅馬天主教教宗良十四世(Pope Leo XIV)被診斷出患有肺癌,但已成功接受手術,切除了右肺下葉。
71歲的教宗週二(10月13日)在羅馬杰梅里醫院杰梅里醫院(Gemelli Hospital)接受了90分鐘的手術,隨後被診斷出患有肺腺癌。
梵蒂岡方面表示:「手術很成功,沒有出現併發症。」聲明還補充說:「術後教宗正常甦醒,短暫觀察後返回房間。」
梵蒂岡方面稱,腫塊是在「例行檢查」中首次發現。教宗預計將在醫院留醫一週左右。
此前,大批民眾在醫院外為教宗守候數小時。
當他經過時,人們歡呼著向他致以問候和祝福,而他則透過搖下的車窗揮手微笑著回應。
隨後,他在醫院台階上遇到了工作人員。 「我很抱歉,」其中一位工作人員表示慰問,教宗微笑著聳了聳肩。 「我們隨時為您服務,」他們向他保證。
梵蒂岡在聲明中表示,為了「確保手術徹底」,教皇右肺整個下葉都被切除。
一位梵蒂岡消息人士告訴法新社,教宗正在進行進一步的檢查,以確定癌症是否已經擴散。
教宗良十四世週日(11日)親自向全世界宣布他接受手術的消息。他在聖彼得廣場的陽台上發表講話,此前他剛剛主持了傳統的「天使報喜經」祈禱儀式。
他說,他肺上的結節或腫塊是「局部的」,而且是在「非常早期」發現的,但醫生建議他將其切除。
杰梅里醫院的胸腔外科團隊為教宗進行了手術,教宗的日程安排已全部取消至 10月20日,以便他有時間康復。
結節很常見,不一定是惡性,但經檢查後,醫療團隊證實是肺腺癌(pulmonary adenocarcinoma)。梵蒂岡表示:「正如術前檢查所懷疑的那樣」。
梵蒂岡方面強調,教宗身體狀況普遍被認為良好,沒有任何感染或疾病症狀。
東京總主教菊地功樞機(Card Kikuchi Tarcisio Isao)在社交媒體上發文稱,他週一(12日)覲見了教宗,並表示教宗身體「沒有任何不適」。
他說,教宗決定盡快接受手術,因為他計劃在11月初前往拉丁美洲,並且非常希望堅持計畫。
這次旅行意義非凡,因為行程將包括教宗曾擔任傳教士和主教多年的秘魯。
儘管各方都做出了保證,但這一消息仍然震驚了全世界的天主教徒。
「我擔心嗎?是的,因為我絕對沒想到會發生這樣的事,」梵蒂岡國務卿帕羅林樞機主教(Card Pietro Parolin)週二對記者說。
他承認這個消息「晴天霹靂」,但表示樞機主教們對教宗的「平靜」感到震驚,並對他康復充滿信心。
杰梅里醫院曾收治多任教宗,院內還矗立著若望保祿二世(Pope John Paul II)的大型雕像。教宗入院後,一些天主教徒仍停留在那裡。
卡拉(Carla)特意前來,想要靠近她。
「他看起來很平靜,所以我們也很平靜——儘管生病總是令人不快的,」她告訴BBC。 「我們會在這裡等待和祈禱。」

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.

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.

Archbishop Timothy Broglio, head of the US Archdiocese for the Military Services, urged Catholics in the US Army to refuse participation in the planned live-streamed firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter who killed 13 people in 2009, calling the broadcast a barbaric spectacle that imitates terrorists.
