@tysonomomultimedia: Pope Leo XIV, 71, has been diagnosed with lung cancer following surgery Tuesday, according to the Vatican. Doctors at Rome's Gemelli Hospital removed the lower lobe of the pope's right lung after tests indicated a suspected malignancy. The Vatican said examinations during surgery confirmed lung adenocarcinoma. The operation lasted approximately 90 minutes and was completed successfully without complications, according to the Vatican. The pope regained consciousness normally and returned to his hospital room. The diagnosis comes two days after Pope Leo publicly announced that doctors had discovered a small, localized lung nodule during medical examinations. #PopeLeoXIV #PopeLeo #Vatican #LungCancer #CatholicChurch
