Biopsy Results High Grade Lesion. Is This A Higher Grade Of Dysplasia Or Possibly Cancer?
I recently had a pap smear that came back abnormal.It was mild dysplasia .I then had a biopsy done that came back as high grade lesion. Is this a higher grade of dysplasia or possibly cancer?I had mild dysplasia when I was 24 and had a leep procedure done.I have not formally talked with my doctor yet.She has referred me somewhere else and said that they might want to do a hysterectomy.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
In my opinion I would say that Dysplasia means some abnormal growth of tissue which may be difficult to differentiate from normal one, it is not always indication for cancer, If I would be your physician then I would advise you for second biopsy and with the deeper tissue cut to confirm the final pathology, if your clinical history is correlating with the present biopsy then it is better to go for Hysterectomy,good luck,bye
