The Vatican announced that Pope Leo has been diagnosed with lung cancer following surgery to remove a lung nodule, during which doctors removed the lower lobe of his right lung. NBC News medical contributor Dr. John Torres says that the type of cancer, ​lung adenocarcinoma, is “one of the more treatable” types of cancers, and a treatment course will be prescribed following more testing by the pontiff’s medical team.
