教皇利奥被诊断出患有肺癌，医生切除了部分肺部，梵蒂冈称 约书亚·麦克尔维和马泰奥·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，这对这位71岁的教皇来说是一次重大健康挫折。
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，教皇患有腺癌，这是一种常见的肺癌类型，手术过程中进行的组织检测证实了医生们在术前检查中所怀疑的情况。
The pope has adenocarcinoma, a common form of lung cancer, with tissue tests conducted during the operation confirming what doctors had suspected from preparatory examinations, the bulletin said.
利奥于周二被送往罗马的杰梅利医院接受手术，以切除医生们在最近一次体检中发现的肿块。
Leo was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital on Tuesday for surgery to remove the growth that doctors had discovered in a recent health checkup.
梵蒂冈此前在周二晚上曾表示手术已成功，随后才从教皇的主刀医生斯蒂法诺·马尔加里托拉博士及其个人医生路易吉·卡尔博内博士处获得更详细的更新。
The Vatican had said earlier on Tuesday evening that the operation had been successful before providing a more detailed update from the pope's lead surgeon, Dr. Stefano Margaritora, and his personal physician, Dr. Luigi Carbone.
医疗更新称：“为了使手术具有治愈性，采用视频辅助技术切除了右肺的下叶。”并明确表示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," the medical update 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. Medical experts said that in order to assess the pope's case they would need to know the size of the tumour removed from him and whether the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes, information the Vatican did not immediately provide.
医学专家表示，为了评估教皇的病情，他们需要知道切除出的肿瘤大小以及癌症是否已扩散至淋巴结，而梵蒂冈目前尚未提供这些信息。
"While we have the diagnosis, we do not yet have the stage.
“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·刘博士说。
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，这则预示着更差的预后。” 住院休息 周二的手术持续约90分钟，且顺利进行，未出现任何并发症，梵蒂冈表示。教皇已正常醒来，目前正在其病房休息。
"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 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.
利奥在手术前不久，即罗马时间下午1点（格林尼治标准时间1100）之前离开梵蒂冈，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的后座挥手致意。
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，走过了等待的祝福人群，其中有人喊出“Auguri”（祝福），随后他从主入口进入医院。
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，教皇预计将在医院康复约一周。他所有的公开活动均已取消，直至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.
利奥于2025年5月由全球红衣主教选出，相较于其他教会领袖，他年龄较轻。他喜爱运动，包括网球，且没有吸烟史或近期健康问题的记录。
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，在他晚年身体逐渐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发表讲话，日程安排非常紧张。他原定于11月6日至17日对乌拉圭、阿根廷和秘鲁进行为期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 clear if this trip would still go ahead.
伤寒热 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.
