Could a 15 yr old get breast cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low possibility: Breast cancer does not discriminate by age - if there is breast tissue, cancer is still a possiblity....Though would be rare. I have had a 17 year old patient with breast cancer - she had a genetic mutation that put her at a higher risk than an average person. If she has a lump, there are many mroe benign possibilities than malignant ones.
