A member asked:
Even though i've had a complete total hysterectomy is it possible to have cancer with an abnormal pap (sil)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can have dysplasia of the vaginal cuff. In most hysterectomies the cervix is removed, despite this dysplasia can develop at the vaginal cuff. This left untreated could lead to cancer.
