Is it possible to be diagnosed with cervical cancer 3 years after a normal smear test?


I know you can develop abnormal cells, but can a cancer develop in 3 years?

Only some women with pre-cancerous cervical cells will go on to develop cancer. This normally takes several years but has been known to happen in less than one.

FYI to all: Not all cancers are aggressive, meaning that they grow and spread quickly. Cervical cancer is typically a slow-growing cancer. How quickly a cancer develops depends on the specific cell type. Source(s): I'm a nurse.
I would ask your ob/gyn if I were you.
Of course it can. It can develop in a few weeks or months. There are no "rules" when it comes to cancer; it's not like if it hasn't shown up by the time you're 30 it's not going to. If you feel you are at risk you should have the smear once a year.
A cancer can develop in weeks. So althugh a smear test might be normal, you could have pre-cancerous cells and full blown cancer just a few months later. However, smear tests are an invaluable tool for detecting any changes so it's really important that women have them.
DUH, yes it can!!!
When it comes to the body anything can happen. if you are worried plan a visit to the doctor. Having you here is better than not having you at all.
