Billionaire Howard Lutnick, chief executive officer of Cantor Fitzgerald LP, has non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and expects treatment to leave him cancer-free within four months.
“I’m not going to die, I’m not going anywhere,” Lutnick said in a video to employees of his companies, Cantor Fitzgerald, BGC Partners Inc. and Newmark Group Inc. He said he was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. “That’s the most common type of lymphoma. It is, fortunately for me, it is treatable, and it is curable. Thank goodness it is curable.”
