If your pap smear results have been ascus for 4 yrs and colposcopy is normal could you have cervical cancer one year after your last test?

Cervical cancer: Truly anything is possible but unlikely. With that many ASCUS paps I would request my slides be sent to a different pathology group for review.

Has HPV,typing been done? This would be more useful in terms of necessity and frequency of subsequent type of follow up.
