Comments.Text: 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?

Title: How do you download metadata for TCGA pathology slides
ThreadText: # 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.
