A member asked:
What test is needed to diagnose a cervical polyp seen during the pap exam (if it's cancerous, cause, etc.)? does the pap test give any info on polyp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pathology: The only sure way to diagnose a polyp and determine if there is any malignancy is to remove the polyp and submit it for examination by a pathologist.
