A member asked:

Are the chances of breast cancer low in a 31 year old with no family history? i have fibrocystic breasts and constantly worry about different lumps.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low, not impossible.: Breast cancer is rare in your age group but not impossible. Consider adding MRI to screening evaluation.
