New York • GameStop Corp. said CEO Paul Raines had surgery last week to remove a cancerous brain tumor.

The video game retailer said the tumor was found early and doctors believe his prognosis for a full recovery is very good.

Raines, who is 49, now will undergo chemotherapy, which is expected to take about six weeks.

The Grapevine, Texas company said Raines will restrict travel during that period, but the treatment should not interfere with his job. He was named CEO in June 2010.
