I need help! how do i know if i have breast cancer at 16?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Visit your doctor!: Many patients are afraid to be evaluated for breast symptoms. Breast cancer at age 16 is extremely rare, but other benign tumors are common. You could have changes in breast development, cysts, fibroadenomas or other lumps that need to be evaluated by a doctor. Don't be afraid to see a doctor and have an examination. They may start with an ultrasound or mammogram to evaluate the problem.
