A member asked:
I have hpv and warts. i am going in for a colosopy due to abnormal cells on pap. could i have cancer?

Not likely: Hpv infection can lead to dypslasia of the cervix which can lead to cervical carcinoma. A pap smear is used to detect atypical cells. The vast majority of cases are treated with a simple biopsy. Although rare cervical cancer still does occur. Pap screening has significantly reduced the number but proper follow up with your doctor is needed.

Yes, but: While it is possible, it is not very likely. The most important thing for you is to do your followup, then if your do develop a problem it will be caught early and very likely cured.
