Normal: No abnormal cells detected. ASC-US: Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance. This finding means that some cells look unusual but not necessarily cancerous. LSIL: Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. Indicates mild abnormalities, often associated with HPV infection. HSIL: High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. Indicates more serious abnormalities that could lead to cancer. ASC-H: Atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude HSIL. Abnormal cells are present, and HSIL cannot be ruled out.
Abnormal results may require follow-up testing, such as high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) or a biopsy, to determine the severity of the abnormality and the appropriate course of action.
