National guidelines

The goal of the national guidelines is to standardize national treatment practices and ensure that care is up-to-date and based on the latest research.

Together with the multidisciplinary cancer groups, we promote the availability of cancer-specific national treatment guidelines and their implementation in regional and national pathways.

Here you can find the list and link to the available national guidelines (all published in Finnish).
