Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein announced Tuesday that he has lymphoma, but described it as “highly curable.”
The executive said that he will continue to work during his chemotherapy treatment, though he will cut down his travel schedule.

Blankfein has led Goldman since 2006, when President George W. Bush tapped his predecessor, Henry Paulson, to be Treasury Secretary.
