Philippine Children Medical Center(PCMC)

Dear eFOI user,

Good day!

The Chief Fellow of our Cancer and Hematology Division is requesting clarification on several items of your FOI request, particularly:

1. For Question #3 (on current treatments): Could you specify the particular type of pediatric cancer that you are interested in? Given the broad spectrum of malignancies, identifying a specific type, if applicable, will help in gathering precise information.
2. For Question #5 (on survival and mortality rates): We currently have evidence-based mortality and survival rates specifically for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Research on other cancer types is ongoing, and thus data for these are not yet finalized. Would providing information on Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia suffice?

To respond to the request with ticket number #PCMC-510150060876, please use the reply function located on the eFOI portal at https://savethedatev211152018-dot-efoi-ph.appspot.com/requests/aglzfmVmb2ktcGhyIAsSB0NvbnRlbnQiE0ZPSVBNTy01OTM3NzM2Njg1NjcM.

In the meantime, your request will be on “Awaiting Clarification” and the processing time counter will be put on hold. You have 60 calendar days to provide the requested information. Failure to respond within this time frame will automatically close the request. As such, we kindly ask that you respond as soon possible for us to proceed.

Thank you very much.

Respectfully,

FOI Decision Maker
