Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox will undergo surgery for removal of a thymoma on Monday, January 30. The hospitalization is expected to last just a few days.

A full recovery is expected, and it is anticipated that the surgery will complete the necessary treatment for this condition.
