Ginsburg underwent lung cancer surgery in December and has had two previous bouts with cancer.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has completed three weeks of radiation therapy at a New York City hospital to treat a malignant tumor on her pancreas, the court said Friday.

“The tumor was treated definitively and there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body,” a Court spokesperson said in a statement. “Justice Ginsburg will continue to have periodic blood tests and scans. No further treatment is needed at this time.”

An abnormality was detected in early July during a routine blood test, and a subsequent biopsy revealed the tumor.

Ginsburg, 86, began radiation on Aug. 5 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and received treatment as an outpatient, the statement said. As part of her treatment, a bile duct stent was placed on her pancreas.

“The Justice tolerated treatment well,” the statement said. “She canceled her annual summer visit to Santa Fe, but has otherwise maintained an active schedule.”
