Start_TIME Field in Timeline Data

[amsa...@mskcc.org]

Hi,
I'm looking at the CDSI timeline data for diagnosis events and trying to understand what the start_time represents. The documentation says it's the "time between event from diagnosis," but since the diagnosis itself is the event, that’s a bit confusing.

I’ve noticed that some of the dates align with time from when the data was added to cBioPortal — could that be what start_time actually refers to?

Thanks,

Johnathan
