QuoteA new study suggests that vaccinating women against the human papillomavirus (HPV, cause of 95 percent of cervical cancers) may prevent some forms of breast cancer, thus saving additional tens of thousands of lives each year.Researchers at the University of New South Wales examined breast cells taken from a variety of cancerous tissues and found so-called "high-risk" HPV strains--those types scientists have determined are the most likely to initiate cancer of the cervix--in those breast cells.The team confirmed the presence of these high-risk HPV in the nuclei of breast-cancer epithelial cells that originated in 5 of 13 patients studied who had early-stage, noninvasive, breast cancer (DCIS) and in 3 of 14 patients studied who had invasive, ductal carcinoma (IDC) breast-cancer specimens.
