Yes: AGUS (Atypical Glandular cells of Undetermined Significance) pap-smears must be taken seriously. Some women with AGUS have cancer or pre-cancer in the cervix, uterus or even fallopian tube. A thorough work-up is needed. Usually this includes an endometrial biopsy, ultrasound and a Colposcopy that includes an endocervical curretage. AGUS must be evaluated carefully.
