The Supreme Court announced Friday that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was successfully treated for pancreatic cancer.
Friday's announcement is the second time in recent months the justice disclosed a serious medical condition after she completed treatment.
The justice fractured three ribs in a November fall at the high court, causing her to miss Justice Brett Kavanaugh's ceremonial investiture.
Thereafter, Ginsburg completed a three-week course of outpatient radiation therapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, at which time the public was informed of the diagnosis.
Ginsburg was treated for pancreatic cancer once before.
Legislation pending in Congress requires all federal judges, including the justices, to submit to periodic medical exams.
Results of those reviews would be kept confidential, unless a physician identifies a condition that "May impact the ability of the judge or justice to carry out the duties of the judge or justice's position," at which point the head judge of the relevant court would be informed of the diagnosis.
