Pope Leo needs no further cancer treatment, doctors say
The Vatican said Oct. 21 that final tests after Pope Leo's Oct. 13 surgery, which removed the lower lobe of his right lung, showed his lung adenocarcinoma was localized and that no further therapy is required. He held his weekly audience in St. Peter's Square that day; it is unclear whether he will make a planned Nov. 6–17 trip to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru.
