Answer 1

Myth: Getting hit in the breast can cause breast cancer.

Fact: Emphatically NO! This old myth persists because occasionally an injury will cause a benign lump in the breast, which usually disappears in a few weeks. When Mintz makes breast cancer awareness presentations to high school girls, it's not unusual for a girl to ask if it's safe to play sports even though they might get cancer from being hit in the breast. This is one of those myths that's dangerous because it undermines a healthful behavior. "We want them to play sports because exercise is so important to their health," she says.

Answer 2

you should not be getting hit in the b***s, it can cause serious blood problems

Answer 3

No, it can't. This is an old myth that just won't go away.

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. Punching, pinching etc will not cause this process to start.
