A member asked:
What is the youngest age that you can get breast cancer at?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BRACA dependent: Since it takes many hits and time for a cell to transform, breast cancer is most frequent over the age of 40. With BRACA mutations congenital breast malignancies can develop under the age of 20. Any mass appearing in a young womans breast must be evaluated as a fibroadenoma or developing malignancy. Patients without BRACA have been seen as young as 17 y.o.
