Any / many: It's not common before age 30 but no one is immune. Many more women than man. There's almost always a mass; despite the huge mammogram promotion, you still will do well to check yourself at the same time each month. The huge majority of breast cancers get cured if found early, i.e., by you. Good luck.

See below: Most breast cancers occur in women over 40. The statistical probability of breast cancer by seer data in the us, reported as a risk of breast cancer in the next 10 years are: 1.5% risk at age 40, 2.4% at age 50, 3.5% at age 70, and 3.8% at age 70. The best diagnostic procedures are doctor physical examination, mammogram, sometimes breast ultrasound, and maybe breast MRI in very high risk patients.
