Retraction—Today, we retract an unsigned 1977 commentary suggesting talc powder containing asbestos was not harmful. The Lancet was informed that the author had undisclosed competing interests and breached publication ethics. /4 Social media card dated 25.03.2026. The text reads, “Retraction—Today, we retract an unsigned 1977 commentary on the safety of asbestos in talcum powder. We thank David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz for their rigorous investigation and alerting The Lancet that the commentary was written by a paid consultant of Johnson & Johnson—representing undeclared competing interest and a clear breach of publication ethics. Our editorial processes have evolved significantly since 1977 to improve transparency, ethical standards, and scientific integrity. In our view, had our editors at the time known of ...

“Another year of both progress and setbacks for tuberculosis research and control efforts”, write @LancetRespirMed editors.

We begin this #WorldTBDay thread with an Editorial 🧵 hubs.li/Q01J2k780

According to WHO, estimated TB incidence and deaths have increased for the first time in over a decade.

‘Policy inertia’ is enabling the products and practices of some commercial actors to cause significant, ongoing harm to health, warn experts.

A new Lancet Series argues for a bold system overhaul that puts people and planet first: hubs.li/Q01HD8h_0 Alt text: Headline card for...
What are the commercial determinants of health?

Lack of consensus on the definition has been a sticking point, hampering action.

The Series authors provide an explanation and outline potential pathways to health benefits or harms: hubs.li/Q01J2gbV0 Quote from paper 1 of the S...
While commercial actors can contribute positively to health and society, a significant proportion are not.

Just 4 industry sectors are responsible for at least 1/3 of global deaths every year:
🚬 Tobacco
🍺 Alcohol
🍔 Unhealthy foods
🏭 Fossil fuels

📢 The Lancet Group is pleased to announce an important step towards advancing equity, diversity, & inclusion in our publishing practices:

Authors & reviewers will now be invited to (optionally) self-report their gender, race, & ethnicity via our Editorial Manager sites. 1/4
Understanding the demographics of our authors & reviewers is integral to the work of the Lancet Group for Racial Equity (GRacE) & the Gender & Diversity Taskforce; to identify gaps in representation & propose solutions to address them. 2/4
This approach has already proven successful for gender data collection; we hope to build on this with the introduction of the schema & the addition of race & ethnicity as categories. 3/4
