Description
Fateme Saeedi-Moghaddam, Mahdi Mohammaditabar, and Sayed-Hamidreza Mozhgani pooled past work in 2024 on a cattle virus and breast cancer. The virus infects cattle, and some past studies found its marks in human breast tumors, while others did not. The team searched five databases for all such work. Seventeen studies fit the review, and twelve held data fit for pooling.
The pooled odds of breast cancer ran about twice as high with the virus as without it. When six studies that clashed most with the rest were dropped, the pooled odds rose near fourfold. The authors read that as a real link in the data. They note the clash among studies as a reason for care in reading the result.
