Association of Epstein - Barr virus and breast cancer in Eritrea
FESSAHAYE, Ghimja - Personal Name
The oncogenic potential of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in breast cancer is being increasingly recognized.
Despite some controversies regarding such role, new evidence is suggesting a culpability of EBV in breast cancer,
particularly in Africa where the virus has been originally associated with causation of several solid and
hematological malignancies. One example is a report from Sudan implicating EBV as a prime etiologic agent for an
aggressive type of breast cancer, where nearly 100% of tumor tissues were shown to carry viral signatures. To get a
broader view on such association, other nearby countries should be investigated. The present study aims to
determine the prevalence and possible associations of the virus in Eritrean breast cancer patients.
