Human papilloma viruses (HPVs) no co-existence in breast cancer and cervical cells in the same patient.
High-risk HPVs were detected in both breast cancer tissues and cervical cells from 56 breast cancer patients. The results suggested that HPV infection did not coexist in breast and cervical tissues. HPV infection of the breast cancer tissue is more likely to happen in patients without cervical infection.
