Vatican doctors have said the Pope does not need further treatment following surgery for a localised lung condition, according to reports citing medical updates.
The reports said tests confirmed a localised lung adenocarcinoma after an October 13 procedure to remove the lower lobe of the right lung. Doctors’ assessments and follow-up testing will guide any future care, and the Vatican remains the authoritative source for official updates.
