Atypical cells should refer to atypical cell proliferation, and the chance of cancer depends on the degree of this atypical proliferation.
Atypical cell hyperplasia, this refers to the abnormal proliferation of epithelial cells, which is manifested by the proliferation of cells of different sizes and shapes, with larger nuclei, increased nucleoplasmic ratio, and increased nuclear division. Atypical cell hyperplasia can be categorized into three types: mild, moderate and severe, and the chance of malignant lesions is related to the degree of hyperplasia.
1. Mild atypical cell hyperplasia: If mild atypical cell hyperplasia is treated in time, it basically will not develop into cancer. For example, if a woman has a low-grade cervical lesion, about 60% of the time it may return to normal on its own, but if the lesion persists, treatment is usually recommended.
2. Moderate or severe atypical cell hyperplasia: Moderate or severe atypical cell hyperplasia is relatively more serious, and if it is not treated in time, the chance of malignant lesions is relatively high, but there is individual difference in this chance, and there is no specific value. If moderate or severe atypical hyperplasia is found, surgery is generally recommended.
