How probable is it for a teen to get breast cancer?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very unlikely...: Breast cancer would be a very unusual / uncommon finding in a teenager. Breast masses can develop in young people, but these are generally benign growths such as "fibroadenomas". If a teen has a palpable breast lump and is concerned, it would be appropriate to visit with a healthcare provider for a physical examination.
