<br/><br/> The vast majority of breast cancers are carcinomas that<br/>originate from cells lining the milk-forming ducts of the<br/>mammary gland. The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a multifaceted highly host<br/>specific betaherpesvirus that is regarded as asymptomatic or mildly pathogenic virus<br/>in immunocompetent host. HCMV may cause acute and chronic complications in<br/>immunocompromised individual. HCMV antigens and DNA have been detected in<br/>tissue biopsies of breast cancers and sentinel lymph nodes and elevation in serum<br/>HCMV IgG antibody levels have been reported to precede the development of breast<br/>cancer in some women. The aim of the study is to evaluate the association of human<br/>cytomegalovirus (HCMV) incidence and lymph node metastases in Egyptian breast<br/>cancer patients. The project was carries out through testing of enrolled breast<br/>cancer patients for presence or absence of HCMV IgG antibody in their blood<br/>samples. Finally, correlation between incidence of HCMV DNA and lymph node<br/>metastasis in breast cancer patients was assessed. Outcome of the study displays<br/>that there is a statistical significance between HCMV-DNA and lymph node
