MPTevol

Multiple primary tumors (MPT) is a special and rare cancer type, defined as more than two primary tumors presenting at the diagnosis in a single patient. The molecular characteristics and tumorigenesis of MPT remain unclear due to insufficient approaches.

Here, we present MPTevol, a practical computational framework for comprehensively exploring the MPT from multiregional sequencing (MRS) experiments. MPTevol facilitates comparison genomic profiles across multiple primary tumor samples, detection of clonal evolutionary history and metastatic routines in MPT, and quantification of metastatic history. This package incorporates multiple cancer evolution analyses, for a one-stop solution of MPT analysis.The goal of MPTevol is to provide a practical computation framework for dissecting the evolution of multiple primary tumors (MPT), reducing analysis complexity with modular design.
