Breast Cancer is generally found in adults, but is no age discriminating, if your concerned, see the doctor.

Key word here is USUALLY
and it is usually found in older women but, some as young as 15 and men are not excluded from this...
Source...Self I am 35 and was diagnosed when I was 32 BEFORE menopause but, because of it being estrogen fed I had to have a complete hysterectomy which threw me into a crash course of menopause.... Some (not trying to be rude) need to get some facts before posting...please this is not someting to mess around with.

I think its usually adults, but I have heard of teens, and girls in their 20's having it. I had a friend that was 26 adn had it.
I was 30 & 31 when I had it, 3yrs ago.
People looked at me weird, but cancer is not discriminate of anyone.
If the teen girl thinks their is a problem, she should see her dr.
A lot of drs think because of you being young(me being 30 even ) was too young to have a problem. But luckily my fam dr took care of me, and I am thankful for that.
Good luck

basically 3% of all breast cancers are modern-day in females decrease than the age of 40, however the youngest breast maximum cancers affected person I even have interacted with exchange into 15! that's an rather uncommon finding, and optimistically one i can't see for something of my occupation.

Cancer is not age related but, does affect woman when they start having menopause. My mom had breast cancer last year and she's 45.

In adults. I would say it's pretty rare to be found in teens.

Adults, as the processes that trigger it occur in older people, but not exclusively.
