A member asked:

How long does cervical cancer take to develop? normal pap less than a year ago but have been having some spotting the last few days. on birth control

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable: Pap screen is very reliable so it is unlikely to go from normal to cancer in one yr without going through precancerous stages that are easily diagnosed on Pap. There are many reasons for spotting in a young woman; cancer is the last to worry about.
