A hospital doctor says artificial intelligence is needed to cut NHS waiting times for cancer diagnoses.

Peterborough City Hospital's Dr David Bailey says there is a "desperate shortage" of pathologists and AI will help to cut patient waiting timesCutting NHS waiting times for cancer diagnosis will be difficult without artificial intelligence , according to one of the region's leading pathologists.

As with other cancers, the earlier it is detected, the more likely it is that treatment is successful. "The AI technology will increases our productivity by 15% to 20% and offers us the best of both worlds - the reliability and reproducibility of machines with the intuition and insight of humans." Patients with suspected cancer should have their diagnosis within 28 days according to government targets, but Dr Bailey said it could take years to address the backlog without AI.
