Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg has treatment for cancerous tumor

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently completed three weeks of radiation treatment after doctors found a localized cancerous tumor on her pancreas.

Ginsburg's radiation therapy, which was conducted at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, began August 5 days after the tumor was confirmed to be malignant, according to a statement from the Supreme Court. The treatment included the insertion of a stent in Ginsburg's bile duct. Doctors have concluded that there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in her body.

The court said she “tolerated the treatment well.”
