They are usually caused by infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) and are found when a Pap test or biopsy is done. LSILs usually go away on their own without treatment, but sometimes they can become cancer and spread into nearby tissue. LSIL is sometimes called mild dysplasia.
What percentage of LSIL is cancer?
The overall risk of cancer in patients with LSIL is less than one percent.
Is LSIL precancerous cells?
LSIL is not cancer. While a Pap test is used to screen for cervical cancer, it can’t determine for sure that abnormal cells are cancerous. For that, you would need a cervical biopsy. Pap tests can reveal precancerous cells and other abnormal changes that may lead to cervical cancer.
