Las Vegas Sands Corp has handed the reins to the companyâs President,
Robert Goldstein, who is now the acting chairman and CEO.
Adelson was diagnosed with
non-Hodgkinâs lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, in 2018 but remained at the helm of his casino empire. A spokesperson for Las Vegas Sands Corp informed
The Wall Street Journal about Adelsonâs cancer treatment.
âMr. Adelson is still dealing with certain side effects from medication he is taking for the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These side effects have restricted his availability to travel or keep regular office hours. They have not, however, prevented him from fulfilling his duties as chairman and CEO.â
