The only woman currently serving Supreme Court as the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg since 1993 has undergone a surgery on Thursday after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She is 75 years old and was admitted at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York for the surgery.
She had cancer in the early stages. She has to be in the hospital for 10 more days, announced the surgeon, Dr. Murray Brennan. Ginsburg had a surgery for colon cancer and also undergone chemotherapy and radiation treatment in 1999. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer during a routine annual test late last month at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.
