How far back does the information go in the Biomarkers Knowledge Area?
When a biomarker is identified and selected for inclusion in the Biomarkers Knowledge Area, the editorial analysts search literature from the last five years and clinical guidelines from the previous 10 years. Due to the fast rate of biomarker research, if a biomarker is relevant, it will be mentioned in papers published during the last five years. Guidelines can be current but not necessarily recently updated, hence the search is expanded to track older (but still current) guidelines.
