Human mammary tumor virus (HMTV) is a B-type retrovirus that is closely related to the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV).[1] The existence of this virus was suspected for decades[2] but nucleotide sequences identifying a unique virus in human breast cancer tumors were not confirmed until 2001.[3] Viral particles were isolated several years later.[4] Evidence for a role of HTMV/MMTV in human breast cancer has recently been reviewed.[5]
