Just because you have abnormal cells from a pap does this mean you will get cancer?
No. Having abnormal cells show up on a pap smear does not mean you will get cancer.
However, abnormal cells can sometimes be a precursor to cancerous cells, and for that reason, it is very important to continue to get regular pap smears so that your healthcare provider can track any further changes in the characteristics of these cells, and if cancer does develop, hopefully catch it at a very early stage.
What else can I help you with?
Are all bone marrow stem cells producing abnormal cells when someone has leukemia or just some of them?
In leukemia, a small proportion of bone marrow stem cells become malignant and start producing abnormal cells. These abnormal cells then grow uncontrollably, crowding out normal blood cells. The majority of bone marrow stem cells remain healthy and continue to produce normal blood cells.
Can hickeys in breast cause breast cancer?
No, hickeys can not cause cancer. Hickeys basically are just broken blood vessels, just like a bruise. Cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. So, hickeys obviously cannot change the make up of your cells in your body.
What is the difference between cancer cells and old cells?
Cancer cells are abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and can invade nearby tissues, whereas old cells are normal cells that have reached the end of their lifespan and stop dividing. Cancer cells can cause tumors and metastasize, while old cells are usually cleared away by the immune system.
Does it mean I have cancer if I have received an abnormal pap smear?
Invasive cancer in a pap smear result means that abnormal cells have spread from the original site to other areas of the cervix. It is a result that requires immediate follow-up.
What type of cell is a tumor?

How do viruses kill cancer cells?
Viruses can be engineered to specifically target and infect cancer cells, causing them to die. Some viruses can also stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Additionally, certain viruses have the ability to directly interfere with the replication process of cancer cells, leading to their death.
Does a cancer have a nucleas?
Cancer cells have a nucleus just like the cells that they come from. Cancer cells are "out of control" cells. They can pile up and form tumors. They pay no attention to the rules that other cells pay attention to.
