A member asked:

24yo. became sex. active @ 22yrs-1partner. 1.5yrs ago had a pap, showed lsil. lost insur. so i didn't get another. could i have cancer now? no cigs.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubtful...but: The cases of cervical cancer I've seen over the years have always been in women who had a bad pap but never came in for the recommended follow-up. So I always worry about women who disappear after a bad pap. Most states have a program that pays for the follow-up for women without insurance. However, the absolute risk of cervical cancer at age 24 after an LSIL pap is very low. Best wishes!
