Details

This method is a wrapper around cgdsr-getCancerStudies and show all the cancer studies included in the cBioPortal. If you specify the tumor_type, follow the list of showTumorType. Even though the cancer studies are present, it doesn't mean that there are data for every alteration. A tumor type could have mutation data but not copynumber or viceversa. Furthermore, fusion data have a different source and could not be included in the list.

Value

A named vector of all the cancer studies available in cgdsr package that can be passed to the method getAlterations.
