Pope Leo is being released from the hospital Saturday after lung cancer surgery, the Vatican said.
Earlier this week, doctors removed the lower lobe of his right lung after identifying a suspected cancerous nodule. The surgery confirmed he had adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer.
“All Things Considered” host Scott Detrow, who co-author of “American Pope: Leo XIV’s Road from the South Side of Chicago to Vatican City,” with Daniel Burke, joined WTOP’s Alan Etter to discuss the pope’s recovery and what’s next for the 71-year-old.
