A campaign urging people with a persistent cough to see their doctor has led to a "dramatic rise" in lung cancer diagnoses, figures show.
The campaign, which ran in England last year, said people should go to their GP if they had had a cough for more than three weeks.
An estimated 700 extra patients were diagnosed with lung cancer around the time of the campaign.
Lung cancer accounts for more than a fifth of all deaths from cancer.
