Ruth Bader Ginsburg Appears to Be Cancer-Free Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent surgery last month to remove cancerous tumors from her lungs. The Supreme Court released a statement Friday regarding the Justice's recuperative state. Kathleen Arberg, Supreme Court spokesperson Ginsburg, who has overcome two previous cancer diagnoses, missed oral arguments for the first time ever on Monday. She has still been participating as much as possible while recovering at home. Ginsberg, 85, has served on the bench for 25 years and intends to stay on as long as she can "do it full steam." Dr. Robert Miller, professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, feels Ginsberg's continued absence is not yet a cause for concern.
