Do breast lumps have anything to do with breast cancer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sometimes: A breast lump may be benign like a fibrocystic condition, or they can be cancerous. Breast lumps need physical examination with a doctor and likely mammogram and/or breast ultrasound.

Yes they can: Any lump in the breast is suspect for breast cancer. If you have this problem, have your self examined by your doctor. He/she may do a mammogram to check and verify. Breast cancer can occur in women their 30s...So do not ignore this matter.
