Huo, Qiang Zhang, Ning Yang, Qifeng Association between EBV infection and breast carcinoma risk (ORs). <p>Ten studies that adopted non-breast-cancer control groups <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0031656#pone.0031656-Labrecque1" target="_blank">[2]</a>–<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0031656#pone.0031656-Bonnet1" target="_blank">[11]</a> were selected for the analysis of EBV infection and human breast carcinoma risk. One <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0031656#pone.0031656-Perrigoue1" target="_blank">[7]</a> was excluded automatically after data pooling for the absence of EBV DNA in both patient and control groups. Random-effects model was chosen to estimate the ORs after pooling due to the high heterogeneity among these studies (<i>I<sup>2</sup></i> = 75.9%, <i>P</i> = 0.000). A significant, 6.29-fold (95% CI = 2.13–18.59) increased breast carcinoma risk in patients with an EBV infection was shown.</p> ebv;carcinoma 2012-02-21
