Breast cancer statistics in young

Offline Scaredyoungadult over 6 years ago

Hi all. I'm finding mixed results online

Does anybody know how common it is to get breast cancer at age 24/25? Some I read its common and others I read its rare.

I have my app at the breast clinic on the 10th for a lump in my breast and sore armpit... guess i'm just trying to know statistics

ThankS all

Hi
I think it’s great that you are researching this, the best stats come from the ONS, these stats show in 2017:
46,109 were diagnosed with breast cancer, 26 of them were aged between 20-24 = extremely rare
