Impression-A symmetric density right breast - birads 3
sir please read my report & clear me whether it is breast cancer or not and this disease can be permanently cured.

Answer
No certain signs of breast cancer are seen. In your right breast's upper outer quadrant an asymmetric density is seen with a medium risk of being a cancer (BIRAD 3 - scale of 0 to 5). Otherwise no cancer suspect lesions are seen. To ensure what this breast density is I suggest a stereotactic needle biopsy of it guided by your mammograms. Good luck!
