What is the mmtv virus in relation to breast cancer? how to avoid it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't believe it: MMTV causes benign tumors in mice. Attempts to find a breast cancer virus in humans have been going on for decades and have been impressively unsuccessful, with a couple of "independent thinkers" doing all the work and generating a lot of scare stuff. Although they wrote the current "Wikipedia" article, you need to know that most of us do not beileve that avoiding a virus is the key.
