Operation im Vatikan: Papst Leo hat Lungenkrebs: Wie stehen seine Chancen?

Papst Leo XIV. was diagnosed with lung cancer after a lump was found during a routine examination. The cancer, a type known as adenocarcinoma, was removed during surgery from the lower lobe of his right lung. The Pope's prognosis appears promising, with experts suggesting he may recover fully and only experience minor lung function loss.

However, the Vaticans have not disclosed the tumor's size, whether there are additional nodules or lymph node involvement, and the molecular signature of the tumor, which could influence treatment options.
