Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had surgery Friday morning to
have cancerous growths removed from her lung, the Supreme Court press office
said. Ginsburg, 85, underwent a
pulmonary lobectomy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City,
the court said. Two nodules were found in her left lung after she underwent
tests following a fall that fractured three of her ribs on Nov. 7. Both
"nodules removed during surgery were found to be malignant on initial
pathology evaluation," the court added, but there "was no evidence of
any remaining disease." Scans
performed before surgery indicated no evidence of disease elsewhere in the
body. Currently, no further treatment is planned," the court said.
"Justice Ginsburg is resting comfortably and is expected to remain in the
hospital for a few days.
