Global Prevalence and Cancer Risk of Epstein–Barr Virus and Human Papillomavirus Coinfection in Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Our analysis shows that EBV and HPV coinfection prevalence varies by region and appears to be rising over time among women with breast cancer. Additionally, the strong statistical association between coinfection and breast cancer risk suggests a potential role for these oncoviruses in disease development, highlighting the possible preventive value of EBV and HPV vaccination.
