There isn't a correlation with breast size & cancer.
Larger a breast are more dense & it might be difficult to screen but it has to do more with genetics & environment.

No, there are other factors like the density of the breast. Here is a website that will give you more information on what is listed below.

Risk factors:
Cannot be controlled:
AGE
FAMILY HISTORY AND GENETICS
BENIGN BREAST DISEASE
BREAST DENSITY
The density of a woman’s breast has been shown in many studies to be strongly related to the risk of breast cancer. Breast density is most often assessed by mammogram and depends on the proportion of fat and tissue that make up a woman’s breasts. When the X-rays used in a mammogram take an image of the breast, fat appear dark and tissue appears light. Breasts with a high density have a relatively high proportion of tissue and low proportion of fat. Breasts with a low density have a relatively low proportion of tissues and high proportion of fat.
Of note, one very large cohort study found that women with the most dense breasts had approximately 5 times the risk of breast cancer compared to women with the least dense breasts. And as breast density increased, so did the risk of the disease.
