It depends,,,: It depends on what the results specifically said.  If they said carcinoma in situ, that means that the cancer was there but all removed, but if they said the cancer was more extensive, then more treatment is needed.  It could be at an earlier stage called dysplasia and also all removed.  If it's all gone, keep coming back for paps so it doesn't happen again.  See your dr. For what the results said.

Question 2

Question 7

of the 5% of people who do have dysplasia after first having a lletz and 1 year later a cone biopsy, how many will develop cervical cancer?

Depends on staging: If the procedures were done for CIN III also known as severe dysplasia or carcinoma in situ and it was eradicated TOTALLY  by Pathology report then there are few recurrences of note. If the Lletz or LEEP procedure extended beyond the borders on the Pathology report or was invasive carcinoma then statistics are different entirely.

CIN: Yes, it depends on what's going on at the exact sight of the biopsy.  Either biopsy could have found invasion/cancer.

Stay the course: Hgsil is managed by a cone biopsy, but if the margins are positive, you may need another biopsy. Sometimes this affects the cervical competence (ability to remain closed).
