Winner: Buffett to Stay at Berkshire Amid Cancer Fight

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett on Tuesday disclosed that he has prostate cancer and indicated he will keep running his  Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate as he receives treatment in the coming months
.
In a letter to shareholders, Mr. Buffett, 81 years old, disclosed he has stage 1 prostate cancer, an early form of the disease that is treatable. He said he was told by his doctors that his condition "is not remotely life-threatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way."

Mr. Buffett, who has run Berkshire for nearly half a century, doesn't expect to step down from his dual roles managing the conglomerate and overseeing the bulk of its investments.

But the development may raise more questions about closely guarded succession plans for Berkshire's leadership, a concern that has weighed on the company and its stock price over the past few years.

Mr. Buffett said in February that the company's board has identified an individual to succeed him as CEO and two backup candidates.
