教宗良十四世病理确诊肺腺癌：梵蒂冈通报右肺下叶已切除，手术成功无并发症
罗马——梵蒂冈新闻办公室10月13日晚间发布医疗通报说，教宗良十四世（Pope Leo XIV）当天下午手术中进行的组织学检查确诊其肺部病变为肺腺癌，与术前检查的怀疑一致。通报说，医生采用电视辅助微创技术切除了教宗的右肺下叶，以确保肿瘤被彻底切除。这份通报由教宗的私人医生路易吉·卡尔博内（Luigi Carbone）与主刀医生、杰梅利医院胸外科主任斯特凡诺·马尔加里托拉（Stefano Margaritora）教授共同发布。
通报说，教宗在手术室停留约三小时，手术本身历时约90分钟；手术成功，没有并发症。教宗术后正常苏醒，经短暂观察后已返回医院十楼的病房休息。
本站今天稍早曾报道，教宗的肺部结节切除手术已顺利完成、教宗已返回病房，当时梵蒂冈尚未公布结节的病理性质，本站未作推测。本篇为病理结果的跟进报道。
现年71岁的良十四世10月11日在圣彼得广场主持周日祈祷时亲自透露，医生在近期一次体检中发现其肺部有一处小结节，发现较早、范围局限，他因此决定接受手术切除。13日下午，他在罗马杰梅利医院（Agostino Gemelli University Policlinic）接受手术。
梵蒂冈此前表示，教宗预计将在医院住院恢复约一周，10月20日之前的接见活动已全部取消。13日晚间的通报没有提及癌症分期，也没有公布后续治疗安排；据美联社报道，教宗的治疗方案与下一步安排尚未明确，未来几天将有进一步的术后检查。梵蒂冈新闻办公室的声明经路透社、美联社等媒体发布。
Pope Leo XIV Diagnosed With Lung Adenocarcinoma; Vatican Bulletin Says Lower Lobe of Right Lung Removed, Surgery Successful With No Complications
ROME — The Holy See Press Office issued a medical bulletin on Tuesday evening saying that a histological examination performed during Pope Leo XIV's surgery that afternoon confirmed a diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma, as had been suspected from preoperative tests. According to the bulletin, surgeons used a video-assisted technique to remove the lower lobe of the pope's right lung in order to ensure the radical removal of the tumor. The bulletin was released by Dr. Luigi Carbone, the pope's personal physician, together with Professor Stefano Margaritora, the Gemelli Hospital thoracic surgeon who performed the operation.
The bulletin said the pope was in the operating room for about three hours, while the operation itself lasted approximately 90 minutes. The surgery was successful and there were no complications. The pope woke up normally after the surgery and, following a brief period of observation, returned to his room on the hospital's 10th floor.
GSM reported earlier on Tuesday that the surgery to remove the nodule from the pope's lung had been completed successfully and that he had returned to his room. At that time the Vatican had not disclosed the pathology of the nodule, and GSM did not speculate. This report is a follow-up with the confirmed pathology results.
Leo, 71, revealed during his Sunday prayer in St. Peter's Square on October 11 that doctors had found a small nodule on his lung during a recent checkup, that it had been spotted early and was well localized, and that he had decided to have it removed. He underwent the surgery on Tuesday afternoon at Rome's Agostino Gemelli University Policlinic.
The Vatican has previously said the pope is expected to spend about a week in hospital recovering, and all of his audiences through October 20 have been canceled. Tuesday evening's bulletin did not mention a cancer stage and did not announce any further treatment plan; according to the Associated Press, the pope's treatment plan and next steps were not immediately made clear, and further postoperative tests are expected in the coming days. The Vatican statement was carried by Reuters and the Associated Press.
