Thank you both. The informaion provided was indeed helpful.
The only thing I found regarding tumor location and malignancy is from the American Cancer Society: The breast quadrants are not actually all the same size. About half of all breast cancers develop in the upper outer part of the breast, probably because there is more breast tissue in this area. The number of breast cancers in the upper outer part of the breast is in proportion to the amount of breast tissue in that area.
I also saw that more breast cancers are found inthe left vs. the right because in most women with a size difference in their breasts, the left is often larger than the right.
(Absolutely true in my own case!) Again, the more breast tissue the higher the incidence of breast cancer.
I hope you can find more information on this and good luck with your thesis!

Well there charts for that also but none that I could consider reliable.
Thankyou for the reply.
I have seen many charts as a result of various studies regarding the impact of tumor location on Survival Rate but I'm not aware of the relation between tumor location and benign / malignant diagnoses. Regards ....
