1 If your current age is 20, the probability of developing invasive breast cancer in the next 10 years is .06%, or 1 in 1,732. 2  This means that 1 in 1,732 women in this age group can expect to develop breast cancer.3  Put another way, your odds of developing breast cancer if you are in this age range are 1 in 1,732. Put another way, they are 50% more likely to develop breast cancer over the course of a lifetime than nondrinkers are. 2  This doesnât mean that their lifetime risk of getting breast cancer is 50% â it means that their risk of getting breast cancer is 50% higher relative to people who donât drink.
