Breast Cancer Cases Among Children

There have been rare cases like this reported before over the last 2 decades. As you might realize, however (since you yourself have probably never before heard of this happening), it's not something that happens every day, or once a week, month or even year.
My heart goes out to her and her parents, who probably had to go to great lengths to get her accurately diagnosed and a treatment plan underway. It has to be heart wrenching when your child has just begun breast development and now may lose a breast before she was even aware that she was growing one.
How does a child get breast cancer? Well, I don't know the specifics of this child's pathology and, even if I did, would not be able to share it. I will mention, however, that there have been rare cases of boys as young as 7 being diagnosed with what is called secretary breast cancer. We hear about 1 of these cases every 4 to 5 years but they are not like the present situation.

Should you have your elementary school daughter start checking her breasts? No—because, since you are an observant mother, you'll notice if there's any reason for concern about her health.
Well, junior and senior years of high school are a good time to start talking to your teen about doing the right things to reduce her risks "for the future": checking herself and practicing good lifestyle habits such as no smoking, no drinking alcohol, exercising regularly and watching fat intake.

It is not known exactly what causes breast cancer, but there are certain risk factors that seem to increase a person's chance of getting the disease. It's estimated that about 10% of breast cancer cases are hereditary (run in the family). In many of these cases, a person has inherited a gene from his or her parents that has mutated (changed from its normal form). This mutated gene makes it easier for a person to get breast cancer.
