Knowledge Synthesis of Genes and Cancer



What is Knowledge Synthesis?

An evidence-based synthesis that takes into account the amount of evidence, the extent of replication and protection from bias from meta-analyses and systematic reviews in any given subject.

A group met in Venice, Italy, on November 9–10, 2006 and developed the Venice Criteria as guidelines on how to assess cumulative epidemiologic evidence in genetic associations.
