How many solid or liquid tumors in TCGA

Question

[kanwarjag]

I am struggling to find how many solid and liquid cancers data is available in TCGA. Is there any easy way or URL to find that out? Apology for a naive question

You can try searching trough tcga metadata browser. Under sample type select: blood derived normal (more selections are available) or primary solid tumor.

There might be more programatic way, but this solution should work to get the first look at data.
