Pensioner whose bowel cancer was found by AI gets all clear

A pensioner whose bowel cancer was found by artificial intelligence is now free of the disease. Jean Tyler, 75, was invited for a colonoscopy after the national bowel screening test found traces of blood.

She was also invited to take part in a study that uses artificial intelligence (Al) to flag up tissue that is potentially of concern and could be missed by the human eye. The Al detected a number of polyps and an area of cancer on Jean's colonoscopy last year.

The cancer was later removed through keyhole surgery. Jean, a retired careers adviser, has since been declared cancer free.
