The Lancet Oncology is the leading specialist cancer journal for clinical trials. It publishes phase 2 and 3 trials, long-term follow-up, quality-of-life analyses and global-oncology policy Commissions.
The Lancet Oncology appears monthly plus online-first and publishes a large share of randomised oncology trials that do not go to NEJM, with particular strength in radiotherapy, surgery, supportive care and health-system studies (IBIS-I tamoxifen prevention, MASAI AI mammography, GAP70 geriatric assessment in this corpus). Its Commissions and Series drive policy debates on drug pricing, radiotherapy access and cancer in low-income countries. Elsevier hybrid model; abstracts free.
