Yes, it is rare for: Teenage girls to get breast cancer- but they should still regularly do a self- breast exam.

Yes, uncommon!: 15% of women diagnosed with breast cancer are between the ages of 15 and 39... And most are closer to 39. It's always possible, but very unlikely, for a teenager to get breast cancer.
