While breast cancer is traditionally considered a disease for women 35+, there have been reports of girls in their teens with the diagnosis; last year a 10-year-old girl in New Delhi, India was diagnosed with a Breast cancer tumor on her rib cage. Remember also that breast cancer is not limited to women; men can also contract the disease.
