I've always wanted to know this

Answer:
Most studies have found no association between breast size and breast cancer risk. One carefully conducted study did find an increase in the risk of breast cancer among lean women with larger breasts. In this study, two thousand women were grouped according to their bra size before childbirth. Women who were lean (chest size less than 34 inches) and had bigger breasts (size B or C cups) were at significantly higher risk of postmenopausal breast cancer relative to women of the same chest size with an A or smaller cup size. Women with other chest sizes had no association between breast size and breast cancer risk. More studies are needed to confirm these results.

Answer:
If anything, smaller breasts have a greater risk of breast cancer, as dense breast tissue is a known risk. Smaller breasts are often denser.
