Does a cervical biopsy tell if u have cancer or not or will it just show abdnormal cells?

It can tell you if you have Cervical cancer. Abnormal cells are often pre-cancerous. Cancerous cells should show as such. The thing to keep in mind is that a biopsy, while having a high degree of accuracy, is not 100% though. If abnormal cells are shown, you will likely need a periodic follow-up.

Cancer is abnormal cells just to a severe degree. Yes it will tell you if you have cancer.

I had cervical cancer. The pap smear tells about the abnormal cells and cancer. The biopsy DEFINITELY tells if and how much cancer there is.

Yes it will show cancerous and pre-cancerous cells.

when you biopsy cells it will tell you if the cells are cancerous or not. If the biopsy weren't involved, it would just be like a pap- just a look around- if you know what I mean.

Both. First it will show abnormal cells and under magnification it will show exactly how abnormal.

l`m no doctor but l would think the test would show any cancer cells that are present , other wise what would be the point of having the test , good question l think , saranora dnear

There are different types of cervical biopsies. A colposcopy will tell the degree of the abnormality in the cells. A cone biopsy will remove the abnormal tissue. These are typically used before you actually have cancer...but when the cells are highly abnormal.

That is the purpose of the biopsy. The pap smear tells of irregular cells and then to further that, they do a biopsy to see if the cells are cancerous.
