The Vatican announces that the Pope's tumor was localized and does not require any further therapy
The Vatican announced that Pope Leo XIV's tumor was localized and no further therapy is needed after surgery. This news increases the likelihood of his upcoming trip to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru in November. The Pope underwent surgery last week to remove a malignant tumor, and the histological results confirmed it was a localized pulmonary adenocarcinoma. The Pope's health situation had caused uncertainty regarding his future activities, but the positive outcome allows for a planned trip involving multiple flights and speeches. The surgeon indicated that the Pope could fully recover in about ten days, making the trip feasible.
