Survival rates of lung cancer in England are significantly lower than several countries with similar levels of healthcare expenditure. This may be related to a poor rate of presentation to primary care with symptoms of lung cancer. This research reports the first attempt to assess the cost-effectiveness of campaigns to improve the rate of presentation and in doing so considers the natural history of the disease before diagnosis has occurred.
