Pope Leo XIV will not need treatment after his lung operation, the Vatican announces

Pope Leon XIV does not require further treatment after surgery for a localized lung tumor. Doctors confirmed no additional therapy is needed following the operation. The 71-year-old pontiff, who underwent surgery on October 13, plans to gradually resume his duties and maintain his upcoming trip to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru. The tumor was discovered incidentally during a routine abdominal X-ray. The announcement of his cancer initially shocked the Catholic Church, raising concerns about his ability to lead, but his discharge from the hospital alleviated these worries.
