NEW: Ruth Bader Ginsburg treated for pancreatic cancer
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was recently treated for"localized malignant tumor" on her pancreas, a court spokesperson said Friday.
The progressive justice, who has become a pop culture icon dubbed"the Notorious RBG" and a hero for young activists, dismissed concerns over her health in an interview with NPR in July, saying she is"very much alive." Progressives had been particularly concerned over Ginsburg’s health in recent years, fearing that if she can no longer serve or retires, this would give President Donald Trump the opportunity to nominate another conservative justice.
The new tumor on her pancreas was detected after a routine blood test in early July and a biopsy on July 31 confirmed it was malignant. the court said.
