See doctor: The incidence of advanced breast cancer among younger women, ages 25 to 39, may have increased slightly over the last three decades.Breast cancer in younger women may be aggressive.Many younger women who have breast cancer ignore the warning signs -- such as a breast lump.Lump certainly could be benign but should consult physician for examination and possible imaging.
