Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.

The patient ID is the first 10 letters, e.g. "TCGA-3N-A9WB-01Z-00-DX1.A9950ED4-9480-455C-AE0D-8E076D4DA432.svs" relates to the patient "TCGA-3N-A9WB". If you download the clinical information for SKCM, there is clinical info in the tsv for patient "TCGA-3N-A9WB". Does that make sense?

How do you download metadata for TCGA pathology slides

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-09-28)

I downloaded the TCGA pathology slides for the SKCM project and the files are all a name such as "TCGA-3N-A9WB-01Z-00-DX1.A9950ED4-9480-455C-AE0D-8E076D4DA432.svs".
How do you get the clinical metadata for this dataset? When I click "clinical" for the project, the .tsv file has no case IDs that match to my file names.
