Not necessarily. Cancerous cells means there is a possibility of cancer or you could just have cells that are mutating and multiplying weird. If the doctor says for have cancerous cells, there will more than likely be more tests run, and things done to make the cells go away.

∙ 14y agoNo it does not mean that at all. ---- No, far from it. It means that the doctors have detected some cells that have what are called some "atypical features", and which could - repeat, could - become cancer down the road. The doctors will treat the tissue that contains these cells to make sure that no problems develop. This is sort of like when you spot worn tread on a tire while your car is still parked in the driveway - you could get a blow-out if you took the car out on the highway. But if, instead of going to the highway, you head over to the local tire store and have a replacement installed, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. (It would be stupid not to get the tire replaced as soon as possible, though.)
