What does ascus favor benign means?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Ascus is atypical squamous cells of unknown significance; it means they see something that doesn't look normal, but doesn't look like a high grade lesion, either. Favor benign is just that; they don't think it's necessarily anything, follow up as appropriate.
