Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Has Lung Cancer Surgery

HeadlineDec 26, 2018

Justice Ginsburg’s vote came as she was hospitalized in a New York City cancer center, where surgeons on Friday removed two malignant growths in her left lung. Doctors have called the surgery a success and say there’s no sign that Ginsburg’s cancer has spread. Ginsburg is 85 years old; last month she cracked three ribs after a fall inside the Supreme Court. 2018 marked Ginsburg’s 25th year on the court, and she has not announced any plans to retire.
