"The memorandum from the Occupational Cancer Working Group 2013 is meant to update the suggestions made in the Memorandum from the Occupational Cancer Working Group from 1988. Its aim is to give recommendations regarding the diagnosis and compensation of occupational cancers. In addition to the recommendations regarding the compensation of occupational cancers, the working group also takes a stand on the screening of lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, the forming of a special group of experts for occupational cancer diagnostics, the combining of gathered exposure information on asbestos, and the use of X-ray imaging determining the occurrence date for asbestosis. The memorandum is published by Finnish Institute of Occupational Health in cooperation with the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health (STM), the Finnish Federation of Accident Insurance Institutions (TVL), as well as medical experts from the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK) and the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK)."
