Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is free of cancer after undergoing treatment for a malignant tumor discovered on her pancreas, she announced in a recent interview with CNN.
Ginsburg’s treatment for pancreatic cancer was disclosed by the Supreme Court in August. The cancer was discovered after she had a routine blood test in early July, and a biopsy performed July 31 confirmed the growth was malignant. The Supreme Court said in September that Ginsburg “tolerated treatment well†and would not need additional treatment.
Her bout with cancer was the second one in nine months. In 2018, Ginsburg had surgery to remove cancerous nodules from her left lung. She was also treated for pancreatic cancer in 2009 and colon cancer in 1999.
