Do flat-chested women have a lower chance of getting breast cancer

Do flat-chested women have a lower chance of getting breast cancer?
I know that men can get breast cancer, as well, but their chance is much lower than that in women. So, I'm just curious if the lower chance applies to flat-chested women. Thanks, all.

No, of course not. Breast cancer is when a malignant tumor, or cyst, forms in the breast. It has nothing to do with breast size.
2 :
The current theory is any cell in your body can become malignant. That means the less breast cells you have the fewer the opportunities for cancer to develop. That is one of the reasons why breast cancer is rare in men. So, the answer to your question is probably yes. A couple of footnotes: 1) Women produce estrogen which fuel many breast cancers. This is an unrelated fact to the amount of breast tissue. 2) New evidence suggest that cancer cells start from mutant stem cells not mutated adult cells.
3 :
no, size doesn't matter.
4 :

5 :
No. being flat or full chested has nothing to do with the risk of breast cancer.
