AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoRecovery: Pope Leo XIV returned to the Vatican on Saturday, four days after surgery to remove the lower lobe of his right lung. Blood tests, a chest X-ray and his clinical assessment cleared him for discharge; he walked out unaided and plans to lead Sunday’s Angelus. Travel Plans: His surgeon says there are no clinical reasons to cancel Leo’s Nov. 6–17 trip to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, and expects him to recover fully within about 10 days. What’s Still Unknown: Surgery confirmed lung adenocarcinoma, but the Vatican has not said whether it spread or whether further treatment is needed. The surgeon said the tumor was spotted incidentally during routine abdominal exams, despite Leo having no respiratory symptoms.
