教皇利奥被诊断出患有癌症，医生切除了部分肺部，梵蒂冈表示 约书亚·麦克尔维和马特奥·内格里 罗马，10月13日 — — 梵蒂冈在一份医疗公告中表示，教皇利奥在周二接受手术切除部分右肺后被诊断出患有肺癌，这标志着这位71岁的教皇健康状况出现重大挫折。
Pope Leo diagnosed with cancer as doctors remove part of lung, Vatican says By Joshua McElwee and Matteo Negri ROME, Oct 13 - Pope Leo was diagnosed with lung cancer after surgeons removed a part of his right lung on Tuesday, the Vatican said in a medical bulletin, marking a significant health setback for the 71-year-old pontiff.
公告称，教皇患有肺腺癌，这是一种常见的癌症形式，手术过程中进行的组织检测证实了医生在术前检查中所怀疑的情况。
The pope has lung adenocarcinoma, a common form of cancer, with tissue tests conducted during the operation confirming what doctors had suspected from preparatory examinations, the bulletin said.
教皇利奥于周二被送往罗马的杰梅利医院接受手术，以切除医生在最近一次常规体检中发现的肿块。
Leo was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital on Tuesday for surgery to remove the growth that doctors had discovered in a recent routine health check.
教皇的主刀医生斯蒂法诺·玛尔加里托拉博士和他的私人医生路易吉·卡尔博内博士在一份声明中表示，手术持续约90分钟，手术成功，未出现并发症。
The pope's lead surgeon, Dr. Stefano Margaritora, and his personal physician, Dr. Luigi Carbone, said in a statement that the procedure lasted about 90 minutes and was successful, with no complications.
“为了使手术具有治愈性，他们使用视频辅助技术切除了右肺的下叶，”他们表示，明确指出目标是彻底清除所有癌变组织。人体肺部共有五叶 — — 右肺三叶，左肺两叶。
"In order to make the procedure curative, the lower lobe of the right lung was removed using a video-assisted technique," they said, making clear that the aim was to eliminate all cancerous tissue. Human lungs have five lobes -- three in the right lung and two in the left.
一位医学专家表示，为了评估教皇的病情，他们需要知道肿瘤的大小以及癌症是否已扩散到淋巴结，而梵蒂冈目前尚未提供这些信息。
A medical expert said that in order to assess the pope's case they would need to know the size of the tumour and whether the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes, information the Vatican did not immediately provide.
“虽然我们已经得到了诊断，但尚未知道癌症的分期。这对预后和治疗至关重要，”华盛顿乔治城大学肺癌专家、梅德斯塔乔治城大学医院血液肿瘤科主任斯蒂芬·刘博士表示。
"While we have the diagnosis, we do not yet have the stage. This is critical to prognosis and treatment," said Dr. Stephen Liu, a lung cancer expert at Georgetown University in Washington and division chief of hematology-oncology at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
如果这是一种未累及淋巴结的小型肺癌，手术本身很可能具有治愈性，”他对路透社说。“但如果最终分析显示癌症累及范围更广，这表明预后较差。” 住院期间休息 教皇在手术后恢复了正常意识，随后返回了他的病房，在那里他正在休息，医疗公告如是说。
"If this is a small lung cancer with no lymph nodes involved, surgery itself is likely to be curative," he told Reuters. "But if final analysis reveals a greater extent of cancer involvement, this indicates a poorer prognosis." RESTING IN HIS HOSPITAL ROOM The pope regained consciousness normally after the operation and later returned to his hospital room, where he was resting, the medical bulletin said.
本周早些时候，梵蒂冈表示，他预计将在医院住约一周，且他所有的公开活动均已取消至10月20日。
The Vatican said earlier this week that he was expected to remain in hospital for about a week and all his public events have been cancelled until October 20.
利奥在手术前不久于罗马时间下午1点（格林尼治标准时间1100）离开梵蒂冈，其车队驶往约9公里（5.6英里）北方的杰梅利医院时，他被看到从一辆黑色SUV的后座挥手。
Leo left the Vatican ahead of the surgery shortly before 1 p.m. (1100 GMT) in Rome and was seen waving from the back of a black SUV as his convoy drove about 9 km (5.6 miles) north of the Vatican to the Gemelli.
到达医院后，利奥与几位官员握手，走过了等待的祝福者人群，其中一些人喊着“Auguri”（祝福），然后从主入口进入。
Upon arrival at the hospital, Leo shook hands with several officials, walked in front of a waiting crowd of well-wishers, some of whom shouted 'Auguri' (best wishes), and headed in via the main entrance.
利奥于2025年5月由世界红衣主教选出，作为教会领袖相对年轻。他喜欢运动，包括网球，且没有已知的吸烟史或近期健康问题。
Leo, elected by the world's cardinals in May 2025, is relatively young for a Church leader. He enjoys sports, including tennis, and is not known to be a smoker or to have had recent health issues.
已故教皇方济各是利奥的前任，在他晚年身体虚弱期间曾多次住院。他于2025年4月去世，享年88岁。
The late Pope Francis, Leo's predecessor, was hospitalised several times as he grew frail in his later years. He died aged 88 in April 2025.
利奥在周一唯一的公开活动中以坚定清晰的声音讲话，日程安排非常紧张。他原定于11月6日至17日对乌拉圭、阿根廷和秘鲁进行11天的访问，但目前尚不清楚此行是否仍会如期进行。
Leo, who spoke in a firm, clear voice at his only public event on Monday, keeps a very busy schedule. He is due to make an 11-day tour of Uruguay, Argentina and Peru from November 6 to 17, but it was not clear if this trip would still go ahead.
伤寒 教皇是全球14亿天主教徒的终极尘世权威，且没有副手在他生病时代为履职。当教皇无法履职时，梵蒂冈庞大官僚体系的日常事务照常运行，仅搁置那些需要教皇批准的决定。
TYPHOID FEVER The pope is the ultimate earthly authority for the world's 1.4 billion Catholics and does not have a deputy who steps in when he is sick. When a pope is incapacitated, the business of the Vatican's vast bureaucracy carries on as usual, holding off on any decisions that require papal approval.
利奥出生于1955年的芝加哥，原名罗伯特·普雷沃斯特，在成为教皇之前，曾在秘鲁担任数十年的传教士和主教。1985年，当时他还是一名年轻的神父，在秘鲁的丘卢卡纳斯感染了伤寒并被送往医院。
Leo, born in Chicago in 1955 as Robert Prevost, served for decades as a missionary and bishop in Peru before becoming pope. In 1985, when he was a young priest, he came down with typhoid fever in Chulucanas, Peru and was hospitalised.
他在作为教皇所接受的唯一一次重大采访中讲述了这段经历，该采访收录在企鹅秘鲁出版的一本书中。
He recounted the experience in his only major interview given as pope, in a book for Penguin Peru.
利奥说，当时疼痛难忍，以至于他祈求上帝让他死去，而不是继续承受痛苦。他将自己的幸存视为上帝的一个信号——“我们需要你在这里（在地球上）”，他说。“我从未回头，”利奥说。
Leo said the pain was so bad that he asked God to die rather than continue suffering. He took his survival as a sign from God that "We need you here (on Earth)," he said. "I never looked back," said Leo.
