Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg has undergone surgery for pancreatic cancer, according to the Associated Press:
The court said the 75-year-old Ginsburg had the surgery Thursday at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. She will remain in the hospital for seven to 10 days, said her surgeon. Dr. Murray Brennan. This was according to a release issued by the court.
Ginsburg, a justice since 1993, had colon cancer earlier in her tenure.
The cancer was discovered during a routine, annual exam late last month at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.
Bader-Ginsburg was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993.
