Pope Leo XIV does not require further treatment, his lung cancer was localized according to tests.

Pope Leo XIV does not require further treatment as tests confirmed his lung cancer was localized. Following surgery, he has shown excellent recovery, even conducting a mass shortly after. The biopsy results supported the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma, which had not metastasized. The pope had previously announced the discovery of an early-stage nodule in his lung, a common type of lung cancer, particularly among smokers and the elderly.
