No that's a myth.
8) A trauma (bump, punch, fall, car accident) to the breast can bring on breast cancer. FALSE. You might end up with a wounded breast - bruises, black and blue, tender, sore, swollen - but nothing external that touches/hurts your breast can cause cancer.
For the record this is a myth that has been around for decades. So asking if it's true is not a stupid as you may think. The website below has a list of breast cancer myths. Some seem silly but have been thought true for years and years.

Interesting question.
I read a case recently (I'm in law school) of a man who was cut on the forehead by a piece of glass and then a few years later, it never healed and actually developed skin cancer in that very spot.
There's some speculation that maybe when scars are developing, the cells might go a little crazy and develop into cancer.
In your case, I don't think there's a cause for worry, unless you regularly sustain injury and trauma to the breasts. Then, I don't know.
(Why are you doing this, anyway?)

I don't think so. However, a few years ago, when I had a breast cancer scare, I was discussing with my doc all the reasons it couldn't be breast cancer because I didn't have any of the risk factors. He listened patiently and then said, "To be honest, risk factors mean nothing anymore. We just don't know what causes it." Take that for what it's worth.

Ummmm.....no. Cancer is caused when cells mutate, and the worst thing that would happen from a slap in the tit is a cell would die. Even if the cell mutated when it died, it would not be able to reproduce and therefore would not make a tumor. So go ahead, slap, punch kick and bite away. If thats what you're into.

No you can not get breast cancer from hitting you friend in the breast.

It depends. Do your hands emit high levels of radiation? Have you been dipping your hands in highly toxic chemicals and then slapping your friend's boobs? If not, I would say that slapping breasts will not cause cancer. But ya know what? Maybe you should play Monopoly instead.........

no of course not why you think that. When someone gets breast cancer it is just because God believed they would be strong enough to deal with a horrible sickness but you can smack, punch, bite and it will not cause you or anyone eals to get breast cancer

I don't think so, but if you are hitting very hard and often you could cause injury and permanent damage.
If you are worried and asking this question, then it sounds like this is kind of rough and maybe you should do something else when you're " just playing around ".

That seems like a pretty silly thing to be doing. NO you will not get cancer. Can't you find something better to do with your time.
