What is the lowest age for getting breast cancer?
Hi, my friend is 13 years old and she has a lump in each breast and she says it hurts when she squeezes them. Does she have breast cancer? I know the best way to find out is to go to a doctor and I've tried to tell her that, but she's too shy to go see one.
So I was just wondering if it is possible to get breast cancer at her age. Answers would be helpful, thank you!
The chances of a 13 year old having breast cancer are very, very, very close to zero; the chances of having it in both breasts at once is much lower than that.
What your friend is experiencing is normal hormonal development.
Breast cancer is almost unheard of in people under 25. Of all the people diagnosed with breast cancer, fewr than 0.1% are under 30. It's very rare in people under 40, and most cases (80%) are in women over 50.
Most breast lumps, even in women over 50, are not cancerous. Pain is rarely a sign of breast cancer - the overwhelming majority of those diagnosed have felt no pain.
Tell your friend to talk to her mother about this - she will be able to reassure her. If she doesn't feel comfortable doing that, she should talk to her school nurse when school reopens; she will be used to girls having worries like this and will be able to reassure her she doesn't have breast cancer
