Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose health has become a preoccupation of the American public as the Supreme Court hews rightward under President Donald Trump, announced this week that she was cancer-free.
Ginsburg, 86, one of four liberal justices on the nine-member court, told CNN on Tuesday that treatment for a malignant tumor on her pancreas had been successful.
Her doctors discovered the tumor in July after a routine blood test, and a biopsy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City confirmed a localized malignant tumor.
“I’m cancer-free,” Ginsburg said in the interview, adding that she had resumed an active schedule.
