  • Pap smears look for pre cancerous changes so treatment happens before cancer develops. 
  • Yes...best removed and thoroughly checked under microscope. 
  • Thanks Primek I have had lumpectomy on left breast oncol found a mass in the right breast had MRI and biopsy and Drs say it's precancerous I and stressing as to me it's either cancer or not. I am going to have surgery to remove the lump and they say once removed sent away for further testing will know exactly what it is. Does that sound right? 
  • Changes seen in cells  that will possibly lead to cancer developing.
