The CEO of Barclays said Monday that he has been diagnosed with cancer.
C.S. Venkatakrishnan, who is known as Venkat at the bank, said in a note to colleagues that he will begin undergoing treatment for Non-Hodgkin lymphoma at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
"The good news is that the matter has been detected early, with scans and biopsies confirming it to be very localized," he said. "The doctors have advised that my prognosis is excellent, and my condition is curable with their prescribed regimen." Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system, weakening the immune system. According to the Mayo Clinic, it is most common in people aged 60 or over, and medical advances have helped improve the prognosis.During that time, the CEO said the bank "will run normally" and he will remain "actively engaged in managing it," though he will at times need to work from home and will not be able to travel.
