Rising incidence in younger population now a days is due to modified life style, modernization in a true sense and even due to increased awareness and screening which detects the disease at an earlier stage. Materials: This is retrospective study including 139 patients of breast cancer from June 2014 to June 2015 in a single institute, the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Secunderabad. Results: Out of 139 patients, 41 pts were below 40 yrs of age and around 60% of them were detected at stage II and around 30% were in stage III. Most of the patients had laterality towards right, different from the other studies Anders et al. Conclusion: Incidence of breast cancer in <40yrs of age constituted around 20% of all breast cancers which was significantly higher than those in other studies. Increased awareness and better screening facilities have improved the detection in an earlier stage than before.
