VATICAN CITY, Oct 21 (Reuters) – Pope Leo will not need any further therapy after undergoing lung cancer surgery last week, his doctors said in a statement released by the Vatican on Wednesday.
Histological examinations results confirmed a diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, with the disease remaining localized, the doctors said.
“A subsequent oncological evaluation has confirmed that no further therapy is required,” the pope’s lead surgeon, Stefano Margaritora, and his personal physician, Luigi Carbone, said.
