If the test shows precancerous cells, what does this mean?

A result showing precancerous cells means there's a change in your cells that could become cancer over time, but isn’t cancer now. These changes may go away on their own, especially if your immune system is strong, but it’s important to keep a check on them. If precancerous cells are found, your consultant may recommend extra monitoring or further tests. Finding these cells early gives the best chance to prevent cancer from developing.
