string corresponding to a TCGA Cancer Study identifier

csid

Each TCGA Study includes one or more "case lists". These are lists of 
sample/patient identifiers. All case lists of a study of interest are 
retrieved and the individual case identifiers are expanded and returned

The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a program aimed at improving our understanding of Cancer Biology. Several TCGA Datasets are available online. 'TCGAretriever' helps accessing and downloading TCGA data hosted on 'cBioPortal' via its Web Interface (see <http://www.cbioportal.org/> for more information). 'TCGAretriever' is easy to use (get all the TCGA data you need with a few lines of code), enforces reliable data download (via 'httr'), and is suitable for downloading large volumes of data.
