How do I filter to just one cancer type

For users who wish to use the datasets in a Pan-Can cohort but need to view just one cancer type.

Generalized Steps

1. Add the phenotype column that details the cancer type

The phenotype column will vary depending on which study you choose. See below for specific column names

2. Search for the cancer type you are interested in, making sure that it is listed in the phenotype column. Click the Filter + subgroup menu next to the search bar and select 'Keep Samples'.
