Can You Get Breast Cancer From Being Punched In The Boob Alot?
No, you cannot.
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 will not cause this process to start.
Here are a couple of links to articles about breast cancer myths, including this onehttp://www.netwellness.org/question.cfm/…http://www.swedish.org/17384.cfm
I’m afraid the answer above, while correct in saying punching won’t cause breast cancer, gives you some other myths and misinformation about breast cancer, including the nonsense that you can get it from tight clothing.

Any continued insult to tissue can cause damage and make one more prone to cancer.
I worry more about the “punched in the boobs a lot” part.
If you are being “punched a lot” then get help!
Don’t let that go on any more!

Not exactly. But, over time, if it happens steadily then it can damage cells and tissue and possibly over time cause cancer.

No that isn’t what causes cancer, but you need to put a stop to the punching.
