Pope Leo will not require any additional therapy following his operation for lung cancer last week, his doctors announced in a Vatican statement released on Wednesday.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Results from histological examinations confirmed a diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, with medical staff noting the disease remained localised.
"A subsequent oncological evaluation has confirmed that no further therapy is required," stated the pope's lead surgeon, Stefano Margaritora, alongside his personal physician, Luigi Carbone.
The pope is due to visit Uruguay, Argentina and Peru from November 6 to 17, in one of the most intense trips arranged for a Catholic leader in decades, but it remains unclear if that trip will go ahead as planned.
