Breast cancer can occur at any age. The average age of women when they are diagnosed with breast cancer is 59 years. However, about a quarter of women diagnosed with breast cancer are younger than 50 years. The key to surviving breast cancer lies in early detection. Finding breast cancer early means that you have more treatment options. It is important for women to perform monthly self breast exams and your physician should do yearly physical exams.
