00:00NHS England is to trial the use of artificial intelligence alongside robot-assisted technology
00:07to speed up the detection and diagnosis of lung cancer, the UK's deadliest cancer.
00:12The trial comes as the health service plans to offer all smokers and former smokers
00:17lung cancer screening by 2030. That expansion is expected to lead to around 50,000 lung cancer
00:24diagnoses by 2035, including 23,000 cases caught at an early stage, which the NHS says could
00:31save thousands of lives. Lung cancer is a focus of the government's forthcoming national cancer
00:36plan because it remains the country's biggest cancer killer, linked to historically high smoking rates.
