missing "OS", "OS.time", "OS.unit", "RFS", "RFS.time", "RFS.unit" columns in the downloaded clinical infomration file from TCGA

Hello,

I'm following this tutorial "TCGA Pan-cancer data download" (https://xsliulab.github.io/tumor-immunogenicity-score/#data-download-and-preprocessing) to download and clean TCGA clinical data.
However, columns like "OS", "OS.time", "OS.unit", "RFS", "RFS.time", "RFS.unit" are expected to be but absent in the clinical information files.
Is this due to updates of the "UCSCXenaTools" package?

Best,
Danshu

@danshu Thanks for reporting. I checked and found this is due to the updates of UCSC Xena for Clinical data. The recent version is 2019-12-06, you can view this LUAD cohort. I did not find any version control, so we can't download older version data now. You have to do some dirty clean data for yourself, or you can use the tidy data from https://github.com/XSLiuLab/tumor-immunogenicity-score/blob/master/report/results/TCGA_tidy_Clinical.RData.

Hope it help.

Best,
Shixiang
