Breast cancer in children is very rare, but clinically it exists. It is called pediatric breast cancer, and most of them are secretory breast cancers.
Breast cancer in children, also known as pediatric breast cancer and juvenile breast cancer, refers to breast cancer patients under the age of 15. Pediatric breast cancer is very rare in clinic, and it is also called juvenile breast cancer because it occurs in children aged 3 to 15 years old.
Most of the childhood breast cancer belongs to secretory breast cancer in the pathologic type of breast cancer, that is, there are secretory substances in the internal and external lumens of the cancer cells.
Most of the childhood breast cancers are easy to be detected, and when detected, most of them are staged earlier, with less deep infiltration and no metastasis in lymph nodes, so the prognosis is better; however, a small number of them are poorly differentiated and have a poor prognosis.
It is recommended that children suspected of having breast cancer should consult the doctor in time for early diagnosis and treatment.
