It is also possible for a 13-year-old girl to get breast cancer.
Breast cancer is one of the most common tumors in women and is on the rise every year. Breast cancer is the top female malignant tumor in our big city report.
Because the development of breast cancer has a direct relationship with estrone and estradiol, the incidence of breast cancer in women gradually rises from the age of 20 onwards, and the incidence is higher at the age of 45 to 50.
However, this does not mean that younger girls do not have a chance of developing breast cancer. First-degree relatives with a history of breast cancer are two to three times more likely to develop the disease than the general population. Early age at menarche has also been linked to the development of breast cancer.
In addition, with the current over-nutrition, obesity, and increasing fat diets, the stimulation of breast epithelial cells by estrogen is enhanced, and thus the incidence of breast cancer has increased. Environmental factors and lifestyle are also related to the development of breast cancer.
To summarize, the incidence of breast cancer in 13-year-old girls is relatively low compared to women aged 45 to 50, but there is a certain incidence, and you can’t blindly jump to the conclusion that a little girl will or won’t get breast cancer.
