A member asked:
Does other types of hpv besides 16/18 cause cervical cancer even with normal cytology ? how likely is it to turn cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fourteen stains are associated with cervical cancer. Normal cytology argues against cancer. However, you should get repeat PAPs as advised by your doctor.
