In a sad development, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the second woman to sit on the Supreme Court, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. As it was diagnosed early and the Justice had been having no symptoms the prognosis, while never good with pancreatic cancer, is better than usual.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg today underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, according to a statement released by the court.

Ginsburg had no symptoms from the illness, apparently caught at an “early stage” during a routine checkup late last month, the court statement said.
