Adenocarcinomas arise from the glandular lining of the endocervical canal. After your biopsy if the margins arent clear, your oncologist would probably want you to have regular pap smears ie: every 3-6 mths. to check to see if there has been any cell changes. The best kind of pap smear to have done is called a "Thin Prep" it is really accurate....though here in Australia, it cost a little more, but worth the expense at the end of the day. If you are concerned as I can imagine you are, contact your doctor and insist on getting some clear information from them....and ask them to explain in a fashion that you can understand. Drs seem to forget, not everyone when to university to learn medicine. Keep your chin up hun!
