A member asked:
What is the mean of infammantry smear with mild reactive atypia.negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy. is this cancer starting stage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This type of smear would suggest a recent infection as the cause of reactive atypia. There is no evidence of cancer stated. Typically this would warrant a repeat pap smear in the future.
