Can a physical attack cause breast cancer

Can a physical attack cause breast cancer?
My girlfriend and I were play fighting and I accidently hit in her right breast. I didnt think I hit her that hard but then the next day she said that she felt a small hard bump around that area and it looked slightly bruised. I'm praying that it's just small bruise that will go away in a couple of days, but I'm really worried. Can this cause complications or even lead to breast cancer in the future?

No that does not cause cancer. If she has a breast lump though she needs to get it checked by the doc.
2 :
most cancers such as Breast Cancer are genetic. You just bruised her.
3 :
No, playing like you did would only cause bleeding and which then became a consolidated blood clot. The body will dissolve the clot with time. No one gets cancer from something like you describe. Stop worrying.
4 :
hit her harder!!!!

No, not at all. I was in a very bad head on collision with a drunk driver in a pickup truck and I smashed into the steering wheel. My entire chest was black and the Xray tech said I was going to have some very bad bruises, which I did. It took forever to go away, but that was it; a lot of pain, terrible bruising and that was it.

Thank god.....breast injuries do not cause breast cancer! "Can an injury to the breast cause cancer? No, a bruise or hit to the breast won't cause cancer. If a cancer develops in a spot that's been injured, it's just a coincidence." http://www.stmarymercy.org/services/breast/breasthealth.shtml "There is not a connection between breast cancer and injury or trauma to the breasts. This is one of many, many myths about breast cancer which have arisen over the years. Injury to the breast tissue neither causes breast cancer nor increases your risk of getting it. The truth is that we still do not know the cause of breast cancer. What sometimes happens is that a woman suffers a trauma to the breast and either examines the breast closely herself or goes to the doctor, who does a clinical breast exam and perhaps orders mammogram. Ultimately, cancer may be discovered. This process may lead some people to believe that breast injury causes breast cancer, but in fact, the outcome was strictly coincidental. The injury led to the detection of breast cancer; it did not cause the cancer." http://www.healthcentral.com/newsdetail/408/1923.html "Myth: An Injury to the Breast Causes Cancer. Fact: Injury or trauma to the breast does not cause breast cancer. However, the breast may become bruised or develop a benign (non-cancerous) lump as the result of an injury. Fat necrosis is a rare benign breast condition that occurs when fatty breast tissue swells or becomes tender. When the body attempts to repair the damaged breast tissue, the affected area may sometimes be replaced with firm scar tissue. Fat necrosis may be mistaken as cancer on mammogram; however symptoms of fat necrosis usually subside within a month." http://www.imaginis.com/breasthealth/bc_myths2.asp
