Pope Leo to Undergo Lung Surgery for Small Growth
Pope Leo announced on October 12, 2026, that doctors detected a small, well-contained growth on his lung during a recent health check. The 71-year-old pontiff will undergo surgery this week to remove the localized nodule, which was found at an early stage. He shared this update with pilgrims during his weekly Angelus prayer at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City.
