梵蒂冈在一份医疗公报中表示，教皇利奥在周二的手术中切除了右肺下叶后，被诊断出患有一种常见的肺癌。
Pope Leo was diagnosed with a common form of lung cancer after doctors removed a lower lobe of his right lung in surgery on Tuesday, the Vatican said in a medical bulletin.
公报称，这位71岁的教皇患有肺腺癌，手术期间进行的组织检查证实了医生从术前检查中所怀疑的诊断。
The 71-year-old pontiff has lung adenocarcinoma, with tissue tests conducted during the operation confirming what doctors had suspected from preparatory examinations, the bulletin said.
教皇于周二入住罗马的杰梅利医院，接受手术切除医生在最近一次健康检查中发现的肺部肿物。
The pope was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital on Tuesday for surgery to remove a growth on his lung that doctors found in a recent health checkup.
梵蒂冈周二晚些时候曾表示手术成功，随后提供了教皇主刀医生、杰梅利医院胸外科主任斯特法诺·马尔加里托拉教授的更详细情况通报。
The Vatican had said earlier on Tuesday evening that the surgery had been successful before providing a more detailed update from the pope's lead surgeon, Professor Stefano Margaritora, the chief of thoracic surgery at the Gemelli.
“为了达到治愈目的，医生采用视频辅助技术切除了右肺下叶，”马尔加里托拉的通报称。
"In order to make the procedure curative, the lower lobe of the right lung was removed using a video-assisted technique," said Margaritora's update.
“快速术中病理检查确诊为肺腺癌，这与术前检查所怀疑的诊断一致，”通报称。
"A rapid intraoperative histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma, as had been suspected from the pre-operative tests," it said.
梵蒂冈表示，周二的手术历时约90分钟，手术成功且无并发症。教皇已正常醒来，正在病房休息。该声明未提供更多细节。
Tuesday's surgery lasted about 90 minutes and was successful with no complications, the Vatican said. The pope has woken up normally and is resting in his hospital room. The statement did not provide further details.
预计住院一周 利奥在手术前于罗马时间下午1点（格林威治时间1100）前不久离开梵蒂冈，其车队驱车约9公里（5.6英里）北上前往杰梅利医院，他被看到从一辆黑色SUV的后座上挥手致意。
Expected to stay in hospital a week 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.
抵达医院后，利奥与几位官员握手，在等候的祝福人群前走过，有人高呼“Auguri”（祝好运），随后他从正门进入医院。
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.
梵蒂冈本周早些时候表示，预计教皇将在医院康复约一周。他的所有公开活动已取消至10月20日。
The Vatican said earlier this week that the pope was expected to recover in hospital for about a week. All his public events have been cancelled until October 20.
2025年5月被全球枢密主教选举产生的教皇利奥，对于一位教会领袖而言相对年轻。他热爱运动，包括网球，且据知既非吸烟者，近期也无健康问题。
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.
利奥的前任——已故的教皇方济各，晚年体弱多病，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 hospitalized several times as he grew frail in his later years. He died aged 88 in April 2025.
利奥在周一唯一一次公开活动中以坚定而清晰的声音发表讲话，他的日程安排非常紧凑。他计划于11月6日至17日对乌拉圭、阿根廷和秘鲁进行为期11天的访问。
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.
伤寒热 教皇是全球14亿天主教徒在尘世中的最高权威，且没有在他生病时能代为履职的副手。当教皇无法履职时，梵蒂冈庞大的官僚体系仍照常运作，但会暂缓任何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1955年出生于芝加哥，本名罗伯特·普雷沃斯特。在成为教皇之前，他曾在秘鲁担任传教士和主教数十年。1985年，他尚是一名年轻神父时，在秘鲁丘卢卡纳斯感染了伤寒热并住院治疗。
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 hospitalized.
他在担任教皇期间接受的唯一一次重要访谈中，向企鹅秘鲁出版社的一本书讲述了这段经历。
He recounted the experience in his only major interview given as pope, in a book for Penguin Peru.
利奥表示，当时的痛苦如此剧烈，他甚至曾向上帝祈祷，宁愿死去也不愿继续承受折磨。他说，自己能够幸存下来，是上帝给予的启示：“我们需要你留在这里（在地球上）。”“我从未后悔过，”利奥说道。
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.
