My daughter is 15 when she was 13 she had doctors scan the lumps in breasts, it's been two years and they are still here. what are the chances that they have developed into cancer, and since to my knowledge they are still non cancerous could they go away

Low: It is extremely rare for a teenager to develop breast cancer; benign fibrocystic lumps are common, however. If the lumps get bigger around her period and smaller after, they are benign an usually will go away on their own, given enough time. Decreasing caffeine intake can help, and sometimes being on the birth control pill to regulate hormone levels can help too.

Breast buds?: It would be very rare for a 15 year old to develop breast cancer. Are these lumps breast buds developing during puberty? You should discuss your concerns with your doctor.

Dr Samuel agreed

Agree -- very low: One of ten women have fibroadenomas -- benign growths of milk-making tissue of the breast. They are never cancerous, and if a woman makes one, she can make more. They can shrink very late in life, but tend to grow or stay stable until menopause. If they have not been re-examined or re-scanned with ultrasound in two years, your daughter should see a breast surgeon to check them again. Good luck.
