MACS does not use any quality filters and if a read is mapped to different locations it will count it just as many times. It only removes reads that it considers to be duplicates (same start coordinate).
Reads that map to multiple locations should have mapping quality 0, so you can throw them out using samtools view -q 1

The complexity of cancer is clearly demonstrated in the diverse ecosystem of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME is made up of numerous cell types and its development begins with the changes that happen during oncogenesis. “Genomic mutations, copy number changes, epigenetic alterations, and alternative gene expression occur to varying degrees within the affected tumor cells,” explained Andrea O’Hara, Ph.D., Strategic Technical Specialist at Azenta. “As...-
