[Editorial] Responding to declining global fertility rates

00:00 - 10/01/2026

  View item as page
The levying of a 13% tax on condoms sold in China from Jan 1 is the country's latest policy aimed at reversing its falling total fertility rate (TFR; the average number of children a woman might expect to have in her lifetime); additionally, couples can claim cash payments of 3600 yuan (US$500) a year for each child younger than 3 years, as part of a scheme announced in July, 2025. China is one of more than half of all countries where the TFR is below 2·1 births per woman, the level required to keep the population stable.

[Comment] Zoliflodacin shows benefit as an oral treatment for uncomplicated gonorrhoea

00:00 - 11/12/2025

Neisseria gonorrhoeae inexorably develops resistance to antimicrobials used for treatment. The discovery of novel antimicrobials to treat gonorrhoea is a global priority and antimicrobial-resistant N gonorrhoeae has been identified as an urgent public health threat.1,2 Ceftriaxone remains the primary recommended regimen for gonorrhoea treatment globally. However, reports from China, Cambodia, Viet Nam, and the UK, among other countries, signal a rising threat to the preeminent place of ceftriaxone within the gonococcal treatment armamentarium due to decreased susceptibility to ceftriaxone and periodic ceftriaxone treatment failures, highlighting the importance of enhanced global antimicrobial surveillance to monitor resistance trends.

[Comment] A new standard for relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma

00:00 - 05/12/2025

  View item as page
Despite progress since 2020, including the approval of immunotherapy as third-line treatment, relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma remains a clinical challenge, particularly among patients with early progression or resistance to anti-CD20-based regimens. Although the combination of lenalidomide and rituximab is a well established, chemotherapy-free option endorsed by international guidelines, outcomes remain suboptimal in high-risk populations, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic strategies.

[Comment] A step forward in the treatment of relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma

  View item as page
Follicular lymphoma remains an incurable malignancy characterised by successive relapses. Despite favourable initial responses to front-line therapy, most patients eventually relapse, and lymphoma or treatment-related complications remain the leading cause of death.1 Accumulating evidence shows that the duration of response shortens with each subsequent line of therapy, resulting in progressively reduced progression-free survival and overall survival after each line of treatment.2,3

[Comment] Is proton therapy a new standard of care for oropharyngeal cancer?

  View item as page
The study by Steven J Frank and colleagues1 in The Lancet is the first randomised, phase 3 trial comparing intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in patients with oropharyngeal cancer. Support for the role of proton radiotherapy for head and neck cancer has previously come from dosimetric studies,2 as well as retrospective and case–control clinical reports.3–5 A study with early experience from the MD Anderson Cancer Center compared 50 patients treated with IMPT with 100 patients treated with IMRT, finding a significant reduction in acute gastrostomy tube use and severe weight loss with IMPT, but no difference in tumour control.

[Comment] Climate change, migration, displacement, and health: past, present, and future

00:00 - 17/12/2025

  View item as page
The history of human health and migration, the human story, is deeply intertwined with the natural environment. As described by Anthony McMichael,1 pioneering scholar of health and environmental change, the climate is not merely a backdrop to human life, it is embedded in who we are and how we live. Modern human civilisation has been facilitated by the remarkably stable climatic conditions of the Holocene: the past 11 000 years during which century-to-century global average temperatures varied by no more than 1°C.

Global Health Watch 7 (GHW7) is an important intervention in the theory and practice of global health, especially at a time of upheaval and uncertainty. (I am writing these words as I listen to the news that US forces have bombed Venezuela's capital, Caracas, and captured, arrested, and indicted the country's dictator-President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores: the prospects for a rules-based world order have just swerved sharply towards danger.) The co-editors of GHW7, Ron Labonté and Chiara Bodini, have succeeded in offering alternative narratives to challenge prevailing beliefs and assumptions in global health—a discipline that rarely challenges the political and economic foundations of its work.

“When I was really little”, says Rachel Clarke, looking back to her days at primary school, “we had to write a book called All About Me. Mine has a picture of me at a desk saying ‘When I grow up, I am going to be a writer of books.’” Clarke has more than fulfilled her childhood ambition and is the author of four books. The Story of a Heart, her account of a cardiac transplant from one child to another, won the UK's 2025 Women's Prize for Non-Fiction. Clarke divides her time equally between writing and work as a palliative care specialist in the UK.

[Comment] Yellow fever vaccine minimum fractional dosing does not extend to infants

00:00 - 13/01/2026
www.thelancet.com
  View item as page
Yellow fever vaccine was among the first successful human vaccines to be invented and has been in use for over 80 years. The vaccine is made by culture in eggs, a process with limited capacity that cannot be rapidly scaled up in response to outbreaks. The global stockpile of yellow fever vaccine for outbreak response is 6 million doses.1 In 2016, during yellow fever outbreaks in Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the global stockpile of yellow fever vaccine was almost exhausted twice.

[Comment] Targeting MET-mediated TKI resistance in EGFR-mutant NSCLC

00:00 - 13/01/2026
www.thelancet.com
  View item as page
The management of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating mutations in EGFR has evolved over the past 20 years. Whether used alone, or in combination with chemotherapy or the bispecific anti-EGFR MET antibody amivantamab, third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as osimertinib, are the backbone of treatment. Repeat tissue biopsies following progression on EGFR TKIs identify targetable genomic and histological changes driving TKI resistance in a subset of patients.

Compared with the standard yellow fever vaccine dose, a dose of 500 IU did not meet the non-inferiority criterion, suggesting that minimum dose requirements in adults are not generalisable to infants. Therefore, standard yellow fever doses should be used for infants in the routine WHO Expanded Programme on Immunization.

Tetanus, although preventable by a highly effective vaccine, continues to cause 30 000–50 000 deaths annually. Global mortality has fallen substantially since the 1980s due to widespread vaccination efforts, yet adult disease persists, especially among those with weakened immune response, diabetes, and people who inject drugs. Diagnosis is still clinical, and management combines wound debridement, antibiotics, and antitoxin. However, key questions about prevention, diagnosis, and management remain unanswered.

[Comment] Vaccine hesitancy: an evolving challenge

00:00 - 12/01/2026
www.thelancet.com
  View item as page
In 2015, WHO defined vaccine hesitancy as a “delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines despite availability of vaccination services”.1 More recently, it has been argued that the concept should be redefined as a “psychological state of indecisiveness that people may experience when making a decision regarding vaccination”,2 thereby distinguishing hesitancy from the final vaccination decision. Indeed, although hesitancy remains an internal state of indecision preceding the behavioural outcome related to vaccination, it is the actual choice a person makes about vaccination (ie, acceptance or refusal) that represents the behaviour itself.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has voted eight to three to withdraw the long-standing recommendation for universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth for infants born to mothers who test hepatitis B virus-negative, instead recommending shared clinical decision making and delaying the first dose to no earlier than 2 months for those not vaccinated at birth.1 This decision is a departure from evidence-grounded immunisation policy and should not be implemented without a transparent rationale and a credible plan to prevent predictable implementation failures.
