Pope Leo XIV has been diagnosed with lung cancer but had a successful surgery to remove part of his right lung, the Vatican has confirmed.
The Pope, 71, underwent a 90-minute surgery on Tuesday at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, where he is expected to stay for about a week.
BBC Southern and Eastern Europe Correspondent Sarah Rainsford is in St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican as people sent their well wishes to the pontiff.
