Holy See Press Office Press Release

The Holy See Press Office reported on October 26, 2026, that Pope Leo XIV is continuing to recover following a recent surgical procedure. Dr. Luigi Carbone stated that the Pope's clinical condition is favorable and that subsequent medical examinations confirmed the condition was localized. These tests indicate that no further oncological treatment is required.

Since returning to the Vatican, the Pope has gradually resumed his ministry and public engagements. He is adjusting his daily schedule in consultation with doctors to allow for necessary rest.

Based on current laboratory and instrumental tests, medical professionals have found no contraindications to the Pope's upcoming apostolic journey to Latin America. He is expected to proceed with the trip as planned.
