Pope Leo XIV has successfully had a malignant lung tumor removed. A histological examination carried out during the operation confirmed the diagnosis — lung adenocarcinoma, as pre-surgery tests had suggested, the surgeons said.

The Pope spent about three hours in the operating room, while the surgery itself took around 90 minutes. According to the doctors, it went well and without complications.

According to a Vatican statement, the pontiff woke up after the operation and, after a short period of observation, returned to his room on the 10th floor of the hospital. Leo XIV is expected to recover over about a week.
