Breast Cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women accounting for about 30% of all female cancers. The average age of incidence varies among countries. While it is 62 years in the US, it is 48 years in the Arab countries. According to a recent statistics done on well studied charts of consecutive one thousand operations on breast cancer patients done by me in Syria, 20% of cases occurred below the age of 40 (vs. 8% in the US).
