A member asked:
Breast cancer in young women under 30, what are the chances?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally low: Breast cancer is usually a disease of postmenopausal women so the chances of having cancer before 30 are low. That said, certain personal and family risk factors can increase the chances of cancer even in young women so i suggest you visit your doctor to discuss your current cancer risk and the potential need for early screenings or surveillance.
