Includes bibliographical references. Breast carcinoma is a common cancer in South African women. In the Republic of South Africa, 41 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed per 100 000 population and the mortality rate is 21 per 100 000 population. Many risk factors have been implicated in the carcinogenesis of this disease; including smoking, family history and hormones, however, this only accounts for about 1/3 of the cases diagnosed. Some studies have implicated Human papillomavirus (HPV) as a possible aetiologic agent in the pathogenesis of breast carcinoma however the results have been inconsistent and sometimes controversial. This study was designed to determine the presence of HPV in breast cancer in a South African cohort and to investigate its influence on the cell cycle. A retrospective and prospective cell block study was undertaken. 2014-07-28T14:51:33Z 2014-07-28T14:51:33Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3077 eng application/pdf Division of Anatomical Pathology Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
