I found a lump on my breasts. how young can breast cancer form?

Any age: I've seen it in the teens. Every woman has a breast lump at some time. Any dominant lump that sticks around for more than a few days requires a physician's attention.

At any age after 20 : Breast cancer is not uncommon in the age group of 25-40 years...In fact it is the most common cancer in women in this age group. If you have a lump get yourself checked by your family doctor...He/she may need to do a biopsy, if there is suspicion of cancer or at least a mammogram which is an x-ray of the breast to confirm if you have a lump that may need a biopsy.
