[Epstein Barr virus and invasive mammary carcinomas: EBNA, EBERs and molecular profile in a population of West Algeria].

Breast cancer is the common malignancy that affects women worldwide, but conventional risk factors account for only a small proportion of these cases. A possible viral etiology for breast cancer has been proposed and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a widely studied candidate virus. The objective of this study is to determine the association of EBV infection with infiltrating ductal carcinomas (IDC).
