Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) commander, was diagnosed in February with an early stage prostate cancer and has since received treatment, according to reports that first appeared in the New York Times.
Petraeus, 56, underwent two months of radiation treatment at Walter Reed but continued working, according to a statement. While he notified his chain of command, he is considered it a personal issue and chose to keep it private.
His treatment was successful, the statement said.
