Despite significant advancements in early diagnosis and treatment, breast cancer (BC) remains a major global health challenge. Ongoing research is essential to identify novel risk factors, implement innovative screening programs, develop personalized treatment approaches. Among the various infection with certain oncogenic viruses has emerged as potential contributor BC development. Increasing evidence suggests that bovine leukemia virus (BLV) may contribute zoonotic infections humans, role initiation progression. This review evaluates clinical experimental data on BLV presence both malignant non-malignant tissues, exploring mechanisms through which access human tissue carcinogenesis. Current reveal higher prevalence of tissues compared non-tumor correlating an increased In this context, dairy meat products from BLV-infected animals have been proposed transmission sources. BLV-encoded proteins disrupt key pathways, support their possible However, interpretation these findings limited by confounding factors such genetic predisposition, environmental exposures, dietary influences. Further research, including well-controlled epidemiological studies, longitudinal cohorts, mechanistic investigations into cells, necessary determine its
