The 87-year-old is having chemotherapy, having previously been treated for pancreatic, lung and colon cancer.

US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is receiving chemotherapy for a recurrence of cancer, but says she has no intention of retiring.

Ms Ginsburg, who at 87 is the court's oldest member, said a scan in February, followed by a biopsy, revealed lesions on her liver. The information she revealed about her condition indicated she was experiencing a spread of pancreatic cancer, according to oncologists. The liberal's health is closely watched as a Supreme Court vacancy could give Republican President Donald Trump the opportunity to appoint his third justice and move the panel further to the right.Ms Ginsburg said she began her treatment in May, is currently seeing"positive results", and she will continue it twice a week.She said:"I am tolerating chemotherapy well and am encouraged by the success of my current treatment.

"I have often said I would remain a member of the court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that," she continued.
