For more than 200 years, The Lancet has sought to address urgent topics in our society, initiate debate, put science into context, and influence decision makers around the world. The Lancet Group has evolved as a family of journals, including The Lancet Oncology, The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology, andThe Lancet Regional Health – Western Pacific, which retains at its core the belief that medicine must serve society, that knowledge must transform society, that the best science must lead to better lives. Lancet journals are both a destination for publication and a platform to advance the global impact of research.
