Pope at Vatican has surgery after lung nodule found
Pope Francis announced that he will undergo surgery to remove a small mass in his lung, which was detected during a recent medical examination. The recovery is expected to take about a week, and the issue was caught early, with the situation under control. The Vatican did not specify whether the nodule is malignant, but it is hoped to be benign, with less than a 5% chance of being cancerous according to the American Thoracic Society. This is his first health crisis since assuming the position; he is 71 years old and generally in good health. His doctor has advised intervention based on that recommendation.
