Can you get breast cancer at any age?!


Question: Can you get breast cancer at any age!?
Answers:
Breast cancer is quite rare in very young women!.

It is a disease primarily of older women, with 75% of cases occurring in women over 50 years of age!.

Only 6!.5% of cases occur in women under 40 years of age, and a mere 0!.6% of cases in women under 30 years of age!.

Thus, in the U!.S!., only about 1,200 cases of breast cancer occur in women under 30 years of age each year!.

So, while you can possibly develop breast cancer any time after puberty (after the development of breasts) it IS very rare!.

The youngest documented case of breast cancer I could find online was of a 22 year old!.
