Very low: but if there is a positive maternal family history of breast cancer and if there is a high risk breast cancer gene, you should be tested and followed closely. Breast cancer involves genetic and environmental factors that are only now beginning to be understood. You would do well to consult an expert in this area. Learn breast self exam and do it regularly.

Exceptionally low: Breast Cancer is too rare under 20 years of age, that you should not be thinking about this as a possibility for you. relax and get your doctor to check you just to reassure you and teach you how to watch for early changes of Cancer in the breast as there may be some risk as you get into your 40s and older years.
