What could cells of undetermined significance be on a pap smear?

Not diagnostic: There are some abnormaltities but the changes are specific of a diagnosis. You doctor should advise you about frequency of pap smears after such finding.

A number of things: Atypical cells of undetermined significance (ascus) can represent a precancerous condition or may be associated with a variety of benign entities. The diagnosis must be interpreted in relation to other factors, such as the results of hpv testing, if performed. As such, the diagnosis of ascus "pigeon-holes" you into a defined follow up schedule that should be adhered to.
