Abstract:
As an increasing threat to women's health worldwide, breast cancer has many well-established risk factors, including genetic suscebility, high concentration of serum estrogen, early-age menarche, late-age menopause and postmenopansal obesity. However, these risk factors only account for about half of the in-cidence of breast cancer. Recent studies provided some clues that three primary hormone responsive virues-human papilloma virus (HPV), mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) and Epstein Barr virus (EBV)may act play roles in pathogenesis of human breast cancer. This review aims to have a close look at advances on the potential role, probable mechanism and relating hypothesis of Human papillomavirus in human breast cancer.
