censoring time for ICGC records with no followup or date of death?

Looking at the ICGC release of PACA-CA (various stages of pancreatic carcinoma, Canada) there are numerous censored records (no death date) without a followup time. Is there a default censoring time for ICGC studies?

Here are some examples (PACA-CA):

patient ID | followup | death time

DO227721 │ 0 │ 0
DO227636 │ 0 │ 0
DO227652 │ 0 │ 0

Again I think that this is best asked directly to ICGC. Sorry. It's important to have a reliable answer to questions like this.

Indeed, I will update once I receive a response from their support team.
