C
Feedback:
For the classification of ASC-US, the client would have a repeat Pap smear in 4 to 6 months or be referred for a colposcopy. A referral for colposcopy with HPV testing is indicated if the results indicated ASC-H classification. An immediate colposcopy would be indicated for atypical glandular cells and adenocarcinoma in situ. A cone biopsy would be used to evaluate the lesion and may be used as treatment to remove any precancers and very early cancers.
