Pope Leo had a good night in hospital, Vatican says

VATICAN CITY, Oct 15 (Reuters) Pope Leo, recovering from surgery for lung ​cancer, had a ‌good night in hospital and has eaten breakfast, the Vatican said on Thursday. Leo, 71, ‌has ​been diagnosed with ⁠lung adenocarcinoma, the ⁠most common form of lung cancer, and doctors removed the lower lobe ​of his right lung in a surgery ⁠on Tuesday afternoon. The ⁠Vatican has said ​the surgery was completed successfully, ​without complications. It has not ‌yet disclosed the size of the tumour or whether the disease ⁠had spread to nearby lymph nodes, key factors in determining prognosis. Further ⁠updates ‌are expected on ⁠Thursday, but the ​pope s ‌pathology report may not ​be available ⁠for several days. Leo s public schedule has been canceled until October 20.
