Doctors Reported Good News About The Pope's Health

The pontiff has already resumed his public duties.

Pope Leo XIV will not require further treatment following surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his right lung. Tests showed that the tumor had not spread beyond the affected area. The pontiff has already resumed his public duties, but it remains unclear whether he will be able to embark on his planned tour of South America in November, according to The Guardian.

On October 13, the 71-year-old head of the Catholic Church had the lower lobe of his right lung removed on October 13. A tissue analysis confirmed the diagnosis of one of the most common forms of lung cancer.

“A subsequent oncological evaluation confirmed that no further treatment is required,” reported the pontiff’s lead surgeon Stefano Margaritura and his personal physician Luigi Carbone.

On Saturday, the Pope was discharged from the hospital, and on Wednesday he held his traditional weekly meeting with pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square. Earlier, the pontiff thanked everyone who had prayed for his recovery and expressed special support for people who are themselves facing illness.

The surgeon stated that there are no medical contraindications for travel; however, the Vatican Secretary of State acknowledged that the pontiff may have to adjust his schedule to facilitate his recovery.

Leo XIV became the first pope in history to be born in the United States. He was elected head of the Catholic Church in May 2025.
