Follow-up

After treatment for noninvasive epithelial cell abnormalities, either by ablation or excision, a period of follow-up Pap tests every 6 months for 2 years is generally recommended, with variations depending on the severity of the lesion treated. Most patients may return to a routine screening thereafter. If a subsequent Pap test is abnormal, it is evaluated in the same manner as a new abnormal Pap test. The importance of follow-up should be stressed to the patient, because of the greater risk of recurrent abnormalities.
