Are teenagers too young to get breast cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very, very rare.: The incidence of breast cancer increases with age, but on rare occasion will be found in women in their 20's. While reported in the medical literature, the statistical probability of breast cancer in a teenaged girl is very, very low.
