Does it matter if the TCT result is atypical squamous cells?

If the result of cervical TCT is atypical squamous cells suggesting a benign result and not a neoplastic lesion for the time being, but there is also cellular variation, so this condition also needs attention. If the patient has not been tested for HPV virus, it is recommended that the patient be tested for HPV virus. If the HPV virus is not infected, the patient can have TCT and HPV rechecked at regular intervals from six months to a year. If there is HPV high-risk type 16 or 18 infection then colposcopy, cervical biopsy and, if necessary, cervical conization or hysteroscopy must be done to further determine if there are neoplastic lesions of the cervix. If the further tests done by the patient are fine, the results of TCT are not too problematic, and then regular re-examinations can be done in three to six months.
