A member asked:

Hello my papsmear came back abnormal stating...lsil with hpv detected ...can this be cancer ?

Not yet: HPV has been shown to be a precursor to cervical cancer. The first step is seeing your MD and obtaining a colposcope exam with biopsy of the cervix to determine what stage of progression, if any, the abnormality exists.
