'She's not going anywhere': Top cancer doctors expect Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg back by February

Top cancer surgeons told CNBC that they expect Ginsburg to be back on the bench in less than six weeks, with more than enough time to return for the court's February sitting.

"I think a lot of people are getting scared because they are concerned about the balance of the court, but I'm confident she's not going anywhere. She's going to be back on the court," said Raja Flores, the Chief of the Division of Thoracic Surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.

Sudish Murthy, the Section Head of Thoracic Surgery at Cleveland Clinic, said that the best way to project a typical recovery period is to take the number of days the patient spent in the hospital and multiply by about eight to 10.
