Particles containing reverse transcriptase activity have been detected in metastatic cells. This suggests that there may be viral particles within the primary tumour. The concept that this virus is oncogenic, and is an aetiological agent in breast cancer is attractive, although presently, there is no evidence of this nor of the mode of viral transmission.
在转移细胞中已检测到含有逆转录酶活性的颗粒。这表明原发性肿瘤内可能存在病毒颗粒。这种病毒具有致癌性且是乳腺癌病因的观点很有吸引力,尽管目前尚无证据支持这一点,也没有关于病毒传播方式的证据。
