What age gets breast cancer?

Breast cancer can occur in people of any age, but the risk increases with age. The majority of breast cancer cases occur in women who are 50 years old or older. However, it’s important to note that breast cancer can also occur in younger women, and even in men, although these cases are relatively rare. In general, women should start getting mammograms regularly at age 50, but those with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors may need to start screening at an earlier age. It’s important to speak with a healthcare professional about your individual risk factors and the appropriate age to start screening for breast cancer.
