You have requested the number of breast cancer cases.

You may find the Philippine Data on Cancer thru the website of the International Agency for Research on Cancer found on the link below.

This is the source of our populatuon-based cancer registries for epidemiological data.

Unfortunately, at this point l, we cannot provide you a regional breakdown as we are currently in the process of harmonizing hospital-based cancer registries. You may write to request “proxy” regional data through our regional hospitals.
