Cerfia reported that Pope Leo XIV, aged 71, underwent surgery the day before at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome after the discovery of a pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Surgeons reportedly removed the lower lobe of the right lung during a procedure lasting about 90 minutes, which took place without complications. According to Cerfia, the tumor had been detected at a very early stage during a routine examination and could have been completely removed. The Vatican reportedly stated that the pope had spent a quiet night. Further tests were to determine if the disease had spread and whether chemotherapy or radiation therapy was necessary. Cerfia added that this announcement was causing considerable concern within the Catholic Church and that the pope's trip scheduled for November to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru could be postponed or canceled.
