Pope Leo XIV recovering well after lung cancer surgery, doctors say; resumes work from Rome hospital
Pope Leo XIV's doctors say his chest X-ray shows good recovery of the lung operated on Tuesday, when surgeons removed the lower lobe of his right lung after finding adenocarcinoma, a common form of lung cancer. The 71-year-old has resumed some work from Rome's Gemelli hospital, while further test results on the cancer are still awaited.
