Can you get breast cancer at the age of 23 year olds?

Yes rarely: Rarely breast cancer occurs under the age of 40. If you feel breast lumps or concerns, this must be evaluated by your doctor. Breast ultrasound and sometimes mammogram are also used in younger women.

Can get at any time: While not common, one may get breast cancer at any age. A family history of breast cancer increases the chances for breast cancer. If there is any changes in the breast examination or a new mass, please consult with a physician as soon as possible.

Rare but possible: Rare but possible. Family history and genetic predisposition can increase this chance. A physician should be seen in-person if there is any concern.
