Not necessarily: It may be easier to palpate a lump in a small breast because there is less tissue, however, some brest cancers are only found on mamogram. I would not use the fact that u have small breasts to forgo getting screening mamograms.

Probably not always.: Sometimes mammograms are harder to do in small women, and so a cancer may be harder to detect. If breast tissue gets fibrosed, that may make it harder also.

Probably: Breast cancer detection by mammography depends on the differences in the tumor tissue and normal breast. A small breast is more conducive to a better image, as long as it does not have excessive fibrous tissue.
