“…Breast cancer may express EBERs less abundantly than other malignancies [9][10][11][12]. However, EBERs are not found in all NPCs or in some Burkitt and Hodgkin lymphomas that are LMP-1 positive by PCR [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…So far, few studies have been reported from Asian countries [13,15,16] and from Egypt [17][18][19]. In the current study, a combined approach has been applied to overcome the limitation of commonly used methods for EBV detection in breast cancer, which have lymphocytic infiltrates.…”

“…However, evidence for the association with breast cancer is conflicting. In some studies, EBV-DNA and proteins were found in 50% of breast cancer specimens and 12% of adjacent nontumor breast tissues; in other studies, however, the virus was undetectable in breast tumors [60][61][62].…”

The prevalence of breast cancer is rising worldwide. The main cause of death from breast cancer is distant metastasis, which occurs within 3 years after diagnosis in 10-15% of patients. The initiation and progression of breast cancer have been related to both external and internal factors, including viral infection. Human cytomegalovirus infection (HCMV) is common in breast cancer and metastases, and high tumor levels of HCMV appear to worsen outcomes. HCMV can increase the malignant behavior of tumor cells by modulating multiple cellular regulatory and signaling pathways and enhance the proliferation, survival, invasion, motility, and adhesion of tumor cells. Although HCMV seems to have an oncomodulatory role in breast cancer, definitive evidence for a causal role is lacking, and further studies are needed. The current review will discuss evidence that links viral infections to breast cancer.

Titanium and vanadium are essential trace elements. This study examined the associations of urinary titanium and vanadium with breast cancer risk in a hospital-based case-control study comprising 240 women with incident breast cancer, and 246 cancer-free and age-matched controls who attended health screening assessments in 2 affiliated hospitals of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou between October 2009 and July 2010. Survey data and urine specimens were collected before treatment for the patients and after interview for the controls. The urinary concentrations of titanium and vanadium were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Women in the second and the highest tertile of vanadium showed 64% and 40% decreased risk of breast cancer, respectively, when compared with those in the lowest tertile after adjustment for established risk factors of breast cancer (ORs [95%CI]: 0.36 [0.21-0.60] and 0.60 [0.37-0.97], respectively). In contrast, urinary titanium was not significantly related to a decreased risk of breast cancer. These results have potentially significant implications on nutritional chemoprevention of breast cancer and the development of new anticancer drugs. Further replications of the study are recommended, and the biological mechanisms warrant clarification.
