Story summary

Pope Leo XIV, aged 71, underwent surgery on October 13 at Rome’s Gemelli hospital to remove a malignant nodule from his lung. The procedure went smoothly, confirming he had adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer. Despite this health scare, doctors have given him the green light to proceed with his previously planned trip to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru from November 6-17. Pope Leo made the announcement during a Sunday prayer service on October 11, stating that he is in good health and looking forward to the trip "with great joy and enthusiasm." The Vatican press office confirmed on October 26 that no medical contraindications exist for his travel plans, which involve visits to ten cities across three countries. Leo has expressed gratitude for worldwide support during his recovery and remains committed to resuming his full schedule while adhering to medical recommendations. His trip will include stops in Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Lima, Chiclayo, Cuzco, and Pucallpa among others.
