A member asked:

Atypical squamous metaplasia result from cervical biopsies, what are the chances of getting a cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fair: Nobody knows the numbers, but you need to be fully compliant with follow-up; this essentially guarantees that if a cancer does develop, it is highly probably that it will be caught early enough for cure. The key is that it is not a negligible risk, and you are fortunate that it was discovered early.
