A member asked:
Is breast cancer impossible in teenagers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not impossible: Breast cancer in teenagers is highly unusual but not impossible. Concern of breast cancer in this decade is usually associated with a palpable lump. An ultrasound +/- needle biopsy can usually clarify the situation quickly.
