35
Q

Pap smear abnormal results

A

36
Q

Pap smear Abnormal result- Inflammation

A

Non cancerous changes are present on pap, may be due to normal cell repair or an infection, further testing may be needed

37
Q

Pap smear abnormal results- Atypical Squamous cells (ASC-US or ASC-H)

A

Cells on surface of the cervix show changes, but their significance is not known yet, testing for HPV and other STIs following this pap may be needed

38
Q

Pap smear abnormal results- Atypical glandular cells (AGC)

A

Cells lining the cervical canal show abnormal changes, further testing following the pap is likely, may also have treatment to destroy or remove problem cells

39
Q

Pap smear abnormal- Mild Dysplasia (low grade SIL or CIN 1)

A

Cells show distinct changes, more testing following pap and HPV typing may be done, treatment to destroy or remove problem cells may be done as well

40
Q

Pap smear abnormal- Moderate to Severe Dysplasia (high-grade SIL or CIN 2, or CIN 3)

A

Cells show pre-cancerous changes, or non-invasive cancer may be present, treatment to destroy or remove problem cells after pap is likely

41
Q

Pap smear abnormal- Cancer (squamous cell carcinoma, endo cervical adenocarcinoma in situ, or adenocarcinoma)

A

Different types of cancer detected by pap, more tests to assess the cancer’s extent is likely, treatment will vary based on type of cancer, test results, age, and health history
