Abstract EN
We have analyzed the possible relevance of HPV infection for breast cancer risk among Iranian women from north part of Iran.
Among women with breast cancer, 25.9% had positive test results for HPV DNA in breast tumor samples in contrast to 2.4% of women with noncancer status (P=0.002).
The infection of HPV has increased the risk of breast cancer (OR 14.247; 95% CI 1.558–130.284, P=0.019).
The high-risk HPV genotypes (types 16 and 18) in samples of breast cancer patients were the predominant types (53.34%).
Other genotypes detected in breast cancer were HPV-6, HPV-11, HPV-15, HPV-23, and HPV-124, and one isolate could not be genotyped compared to HPV reference sequences.
While the sole detected HPV in control specimens was HPV-124.
Our study reveals that HPV infection and age are the risk factors in breast cancer development in the north part of Iran.
