Can you get breast cancer from getting hit in the boob hard enough?

My mother told me so. Some people tell me it's true some people say it's not.

Answer:
Possibly. Cancer is basically normal cells that for some reason become abnormal. I had a breast cancer scare a few years ago and saw a cancer doctor who told me that at this point, they really don't know what causes breast cancer. A lot of the theories they had before have been disproven and new information has come up. So in other words, they can’t point to any one thing and say, “Yes, this definitely causes breast cancer.”

Answer:
Sorry honey but your mom, needs a reality check. Why would a mother say something like that to her daughter? Seriously, if you told your doctor your mother told you that you could get cancer from getting hit in the boob, she'd probably laugh at you, and then assure you that the causes of cancer, that while not all absolutely clear all of the time (the exceptions being for instance, smoking and lung cancer), that getting hit in the boob, won't do it. EDIT: Cancer is caused by abnormalities in cells. Those abnormalities can be caused by carcinogens such as tobacco smoke, radiation, chemicals, or other infectious agents.

Answer:
No, you 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 won’t cause this process to start.

Here are a couple of links to articles about breast cancer myths, including this one

Answer:
Cancer stems from active cancer cells that by the way everyone is born with. No, getting hit won't give you cancer but could be pretty painful for a while.
