梵蒂冈城，11月3日电 梵蒂冈官员周二表示，教皇利奥身体健康，准备本周出发进行为期12天的南美三国高强度访问，距离他接受肺癌手术尚不足一个月，且此行不会采取额外医疗预防措施。
VATICAN CITY, Nov 3 - Pope Leo is healthy and ready to depart this week for an intense three-country tour of South America less than a month after his lung cancer surgery, Vatican officials said on Tuesday, adding that no extra medical precautions were being taken for the trip.
现年71岁的利奥将于周五启程，对乌拉圭、阿根廷和秘鲁进行为期12天的访问，这将是几十年来教皇行程最为紧凑的出访之一。他于10月13日接受手术，切除了右肺下叶。
Leo, 71, leaves on Friday for a 12-day tour of Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, set to be one of the most intense a pope has taken in decades. He had surgery on October 13 to remove the lower lobe of his right lung.
“教皇身体状况良好，”梵蒂冈发言人马泰奥·布鲁尼在简报会上表示。“我们谈论的不是永久性状况，而是一种可以痊愈的情况，因为这是手术。”利奥于2025年5月当选教皇，其确诊癌症的消息引发震动，并引发外界对其教皇任期未来走向的疑问，因为他必须应对这一疾病。
"The pope is in good health," Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni said at a briefing. "We're not talking of a permanent condition. We're talking about something that you heal from, because it is surgery." The cancer diagnosis for Leo, who became pope in May 2025, caused shock and raised questions about the future shape of his papacy as he deals with the illness.
梵蒂冈外长保罗·加拉格尔总主教上周表示，这一健康问题“是一个有点改变游戏规则的因素”，改变了天主教徒对利奥健康状况及未来教皇任期的看法。
Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the Vatican's foreign minister, said last week the health issue was "a bit of a game changer" for how Catholics view Leo's health and future papacy.
此行无额外医疗措施 利奥接受的是肺腺癌治疗，这是最常见的肺癌类型。他的医生表示，对手术切除组织的检查确认病变局限于局部，他不需要接受任何进一步治疗。
NO ADDITIONAL MEDICAL MEASURES FOR TRIP Leo was treated for lung adenocarcinoma, the most common form of lung cancer. His doctors have said that examinations of tissue removed in the operation had confirmed the disease was localized and he would not require any further treatments.
布鲁尼表示，利奥已恢复到足以使其此行无需额外医疗措施的程度。
Bruni said Leo had recovered enough that no additional medical measures would be necessary during his trip.
他表示，随行的梵蒂冈医疗人员将照常随行，不作变动，通常作为教皇出访车队一部分的救护车也将像以往访问一样随行。
The Vatican medical personnel who usually travel with the pope will do so, without changes, and ambulances that are usually part of the pope's travelling convoy on foreign visits will be along as on previous visits, he said.
“总有医生，总有护士，总有某些基本条件，”他说。“我不打算透露更多细节，因为情况不需要这样做。”
"There's always doctors, there's always nurses, there's always certain basic conditions," he said. "I am not going to go into greater detail because the situation does not require it."
梵蒂冈庞大传播机构的新任负责人玛丽亚·蒙塞拉特·阿尔瓦拉多在简报会上表示，教皇利奥的体力“极好”。“我毫无畏惧，”她说。“他的医生们非常有信心。”医学专家称教皇并发症风险低在11月6日至17日的行程中，利奥预计将跨越10座城市行程约3.1万公里（1.93万英里），并发表36场演讲。
Maria Montserrat Alvarado, the new head of the Vatican's vast communications apparatus, said at the briefing that Leo's stamina was "fantastic." "I would have no fear," she said. "His doctors are very confident." MEDICAL EXPERTS SAY RISK OF COMPLICATIONS FOR POPE LOW Over his November 6-17 tour, Leo is scheduled to travel some 31,000 km (19,300 miles) across 10 cities and give 36 speeches.
梵蒂冈周二重申，该行程将按原定行程进行，不作任何更改，其中包括12次航班和两次直升机飞行。
The Vatican reiterated on Tuesday that the trip would proceed with no changes to the previous itinerary, which includes 12 flights and two helicopter trips.
在秘鲁，教皇将停留库斯科，这座城市坐落于安第斯山脉中，海拔3399米（11152英尺），旅行者可能会出现高原反应或需要吸补充氧气。
In Peru, the pope will stop in Cusco, a city nestled in the Andes mountains at 3,399 m (11,152 feet) above sea level, where travellers can experience altitude sickness or require supplemental oxygen.
医学专家告诉路透社，利奥的医生批准他乘机出行，应表明其手术并发症风险较低，受术肺部已完全复张，且手术伤口愈合良好，无感染迹象。
Medical experts told Reuters the decision by Leo's doctors to clear him to fly should indicate the risk of complications from his surgery was low, that his operated lung had fully expanded and any surgical wounds were healing without signs of infection.
罗马圣卡米洛·福尔拉尼尼医院肺癌专家塞雷娜·里奇亚尔迪医生表示：“我认为教皇在此次行程中不会面临任何特殊风险，也不需要采取任何特别预防措施。”
"I don't think the pope will face any particular risks or need to take any specific precautions for his trip," said Dr. Serena Ricciardi, a lung cancer specialist at Rome's San Camillo Forlanini Hospital.
米兰欧洲肿瘤研究所胸部肿瘤科主任安东尼奥·帕萨罗医生表示，教皇接受的手术“本身并不妨碍乘坐飞机或恢复剧烈活动”。“重要的是不仅手术本身，更重要的是康复质量和患者的功能状态，”帕萨罗说。
Dr. Antonio Passaro, chief of thoracic oncology at the European Institute of Oncology, a research hospital in Milan, said the procedure the pope underwent "is not, in itself, an obstacle to air travel or to resuming strenuous activity." "What matters is not only the procedure itself, but above all the quality of the recovery and the person's functional condition," said Passaro.
考虑到行程紧凑，包括秘鲁的高海拔停留，利奥的医生很可能会建议教皇适当休息，并视情况考虑吸补充氧气，帕萨罗说。
With the trip's intense itinerary, including the high-altitude stops in Peru, Leo's doctors will likely advise the pope to take rest breaks and consider using supplemental oxygen as needed, said Passaro.
“自然地，一次涉及多次航班且在高空停留时间较长的复杂行程需要采取某些预防措施，特别是关于供氧、疲劳管理以及充足休息时间的需求，”他说。
"Naturally, a complex trip involving numerous flights and time spent at high altitude requires certain precautions, particularly regarding oxygenation, fatigue management, and the need for adequate rest periods," he said.
