1. As a rule of thumb breast cancer in females is common in middle age and in males in elderly.But there are different types of breast cancer and the age group varies accordingly.So you better refer following texts and modify your research accordingly
   
   If you are a professional you can refer the following books
   1)Pathologic Basis of Disease - Robbins (Elsevier)
   2)Ackerman's Textbook of Surgical Pathology.
2. mostly at 35+
3. if u r a teenager
4. One thing you should know is that if your father has an tendencies for breast cancer, such as breast tumors, your chances of developing it is 90% according to the August 1994 AMA study on the subject. Though many say the rates are low in men, there have been only a handful of such studies and only one was comprehensive, done by Trinity Lutheran Hospital in Kansas City. They put the rates at 15% of all cases, but it is often misdiagnosed. In men, it rapidly moves to the lungs, killing the man within weeks, so cause of death is most often listed as lung cancer. N.O.W. has opposed any government funding into studies of breast cancer in men.
