WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent surgery in New York City on Thursday to treat early-stage pancreatic cancer, the Supreme Court announced. The 75-year-old justice is expected to remain at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for seven to 10 days.
A press release from the court issued Thursday afternoon indicated a tumor in her pancreas was discovered during a routine annual checkup in late January at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. The announcement offered no assessment of the success of the surgery or future treatments. The court is on a long recess, not returning to the bench until Feb. 23.
