Order on Notification to the Labour Market Insurance Cancer Registry of Certain Occupational Cancers
The Danish Ministry of Employment issued this order to establish a cancer registry within the Labour Market Insurance system by automatically transferring patient data from the National Pathology Register and the National Patient Register. The registry specifically tracks mesothelioma and cancers of the nose and sinuses using defined ICD-10 and SNOMED codes to identify potential occupational diseases. This regulation, effective January 1, 2024, allows for digital data sharing without patient consent and replaces the previous 2016 order while maintaining existing reporting obligations for physicians.
