Abstract:Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can help differentiate multiple primary lung cancers (MPLC) from intrapulmonary metastasis (IPM), but remains vague in panel choice and clonal relatedness interpretation.
Methods: First, cases with definite diagnosis of MPLC or IPM were simulatedusing the whole-exome sequencing (WES)data from 80 single lung cancer, samples from different tumors mimicking MPLC while those from the same tumor simulating IPM. Different panels were modeled by gene subsampling. Two inter… Show more
