Diagnosing Cervical Cancer
If you receive abnormal results from a Pap test confirming the presence of pre-cancerous cells, your doctor will likely recommend additional tests. Results from a Pap test, on there own, are not evidence of cancer.
In addition to a physical exam, your doctor may use a diagnostic method of evaluation, like a colposcopy, to look at the tissue on the cervix using a special scope. Your doctor may also want to biopsy a sample of tissue from the cervix. Both are simple procedures that can usually be performed at your doctor's office.
