Ruth Bader Ginsburg has had two cancerous growths removed from her left lung Friday, the Supreme Court has announced.
The associate justice, 85, had the growths removed after they were discovered when she cracked two ribs when she fell in her office last month.
The court said that there are no remaining signs of cancer in her body after the treatment, at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
She remains in hospital where she is 'recovering comfortably' and will do so for a few days, the court said.
Ruth Bader Gisburg has had two cancerous growths removed from her lungs, the Supreme Court announced Friday. She spoke about her health in New York on Saturday 15 December during a question-and-answer session at the Museum of the City of New York
Current bench: Bader Ginsburg's colleagues on the Supreme Court are from front left: Associate Justice Stephen Breyer, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, Chief Justice of the United States John G. Roberts, and Associate Justice Samuel Alito Jr. Standing behind from left: Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch, Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Associate Justice Elena Kagan and Associate Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.
It's Ginsburg's third bout with cancer since she joined the court in 1993.
The statement said that Ginsburg had a 'pulmonary lumpectomy'.
'According to the thoracic surgeon, Valerie W. Rusch, MD, FACS, both nodules removed during surgery were found to be malignant on initial pathology evaluation,' the court said.
'Post-surgery there was no evidence of any remaining disease. Scans performed before surgery indicated no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. Currently no further treatment is planned.'
Ginsburg had spoken of her health in New York on Saturday, saying she was 'almost repaired' from the fall in her office which cracked two ribs.
The justice had spent two days at George Washington University hospital being treated for the injury.
The 85-year-old Brooklyn native was interviewed by NPR legal correspondent Nina Totenberg and when asked how her health is, Ginsburg said 'it's fine, thank you,' adding that her ribs are 'almost repaired'.
'And yesterday was my first day doing my whole workout routine,' she said, in a reference to a high-intensity workout which has become famous in its own right.
Her trainer had stopped her from doing upper body work in the aftermath of the fall.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
