Valenciano 08:43 PM, Dec 04, 2020 

Greetings! I would like to request information regarding the following:

1. The number of deaths due to respiratory neoplasms, breast neoplasms, and colorectal neoplasms for cities in the Philippines from 2015 to 2018.  The 2014 Philippine Health Statistics detail these, with the codes (C33-C34) for Malignant Neoplasms of the Trachea, Bronchus and Lung and the codes (C50) for Malignant Neoplasm of Breast, but the 2015 to 2018 publications do not contain that information.

2. The age distribution of the deaths caused by neoplasms for cities in the Philippines from 2015 to 2018.
