Pope Leo XIV will not receive immunotherapy

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Vatican sources denied reports on October 25 that Pope Leo XIV will undergo immunotherapy following his lung surgery. The denial addresses previous claims that the Pope would receive preventive treatment to reduce the risk of recurrence.

According to the Adnkronos news agency, histological and molecular tests confirmed that the adenocarcinoma is localized. An oncological assessment determined that no additional therapy is necessary. This follows a surgery in October to remove the lower lobe of the Pope's right lung.
