    No it can’t. Cancer is not caused by external trauma or injury.

    Breast cancer, like all other cancers, happens when normal cells change so that they grow in an uncontrolled way. This uncontrolled growth causes a tumour to form. No blow to the breast, or any punch, pinch etc can trigger this process.

    Here is a link to an article about breast cancer myths, including this one

    I’m guessing from your other questions that you’re young, so there’s something else about breast cancer you need to know

    And the second thing you need to know concerns breast cancer and age.

    I see from other questions that you are still at school, in which case your chances of having breast cancer are just about zero.

    Breast cancer is mainly a disease of ageing; 80% of people diagnosed with it are over 50, it’s rare in women under 40 and almost unheard of in under 25s, let alone teens.

    Not a chance.

    Injuries do not cause cancer at all, in anyway shape or form.
