Yes- the more breast tissue a woman has, the more area cancer has to develop.
2 :
size doesn't matter when it comes to breast cancer. the chances are not dependent on the size of the breast. genetics, age, where you live, diet, activity, those are things that increase and/or decrease the chances of any type of cancer.

It's a fact

A number of studies have been done looking into breast size as a risk for breast cancer. Most studies show no link between breast size and cancer. However, one study did show that women who were lean with bigger breasts were more likely to develop breast cancer after menopause. If you want to know what they considered "lean" and "big" - a chest of less than 34 inches with a cup size of B or bigger. So if you're a 32 C before giving birth then there might be an increased risk once you're past menopause, but more studies need to be done
