Good day! I would like to kindly ask the most recent data (either 2023 or 2024) from the relevant bureau under the DOH about the number of pediatric leukemia, lymphoma, and brain cancer cases in the Philippines. Likewise, I would like to ask if there is also a data about the number of adult lung cancer cases in the Philippines in the same time period. can I also request a data tally, or graph of the number of such cancer cases per region in the Philippines (if available). This data will be used as a baseline part in estimating the total number of cancer patients. it will also be used as a reference in my MSc Biochemistry Thesis. Hopefully, a new cancer treatment strategy can be developed from this research Maraming salamat po.
