No, Jen, a wart isn't breast cancer, and doesn't lead to breast cancer. Keep your eye on it, though; if it doesn't disappear in a few weeks, you'd want to have it looked at. You might have some skin condition that needs addressing. If it starts to change in size, or obviously starts to look different, best to see a doctor without waiting, OK? Good luck - PJH
