Dimon said the disease will require about eight weeks of radiation and chemotherapy treatment, CNBC reports. “I feel very good now and will let all of you know if my health situation changes,” he said. Dimon steered JP Morgan through the financial crisis but met with controversy after the bank was involved in a scandal in 2012, leading to billions of dollars in losses and calls for Dimon’s ouster. The notoriously blunt bank chairman was criticized for calling the fiasco a “tempest in a teapot.” \[[_CNBC_](http://www.cnbc.com/id/101793181 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2947947/jp-morgan-ceo-has-throat-cancer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2947947/jp-morgan-ceo-has-throat-cancer/"},"headline":"JP Morgan CEO Has Throat Cancer","datePublished":"2014-07-02T00:52:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:56:03.500Z","description":"Jamie Dimon told employees the disease is “curable”","url":"https://time.com/2947947/jp-morgan-ceo-has-throat-cancer/","keywords":["Management","Cancer","wall street","financial crisis","Banking","Jamie Dimon","JPMorgan"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9ca0affa1cdaa93c/69869a33adae44434b543fa9/464359737.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Denver Nicks","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/denver-nicks/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9ca0affa1cdaa93c/69869a33adae44434b543fa9/464359737.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Davos World Economic Forum 2014","caption":"The Davos World Economic Forum 2014","creditText":"Jason Alden—Bloomberg/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/management/","name":"Management"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2947947/jp-morgan-ceo-has-throat-cancer/","name":"JP Morgan CEO Has Throat Cancer"}}]}] ```
