Pope Leo was diagnosed with lung cancer on Tuesday; previously, surgeons removed part of his right lung, the Vatican said in a medical communiqué. According to the communiqué, the Pope is suffering from lung adenocarcinoma, a common type of cancer; tissue tests performed during the operation confirmed the doctor's doubts during the pre-operative examination. Leo was admitted to Gemelli Hospital in Rome on Tuesday and underwent surgery to remove a lump discovered by doctors during a recent routine health check. The pope's chief surgeon Dr. Stefano Margaritola and his personal doctor, Dr. Luigi Carbone, said in a statement that the operation took about 90 minutes, was very successful and had no complications.
