Report: Doctors find no cancer in Erdogan's polyps

Doctors operating on Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan have removed polyps from his intestines, but found no trace of cancer, media reported on Friday.

Erdogan, prime minister since 2003, has been recovering at home since keyhole surgery on Nov. 26. Two cabinet meetings have been cancelled since then, fuelling speculation on what would happen if the man who has towered over Turkish politics for the last decade were to withdraw from public life.
