A member asked:
Following pap smear i need to have a colposcopic examination with biopsy and 'atypical spindle cell tumour needs to be excluded'. what is this?

ASCUS: The preferred approach for evaluation of women ages 25 or older with ASC-US cytology is testing for high-risk types of HPV with triage of women who test positive to colposcopy. Use of HPV testing to triage further evaluation of ASC-US is the most effective strategy for detecting high-grade premalignant disease or cervical cancer.
