If precancerous cells (dysplasia) are detected in the cervix according to smear test results, the patient needs to attend follow-up appointments at specific intervals. If the patient fails to attend these appointments and receive necessary treatment:

There is a risk of cervical cancer developing within 10-14 years in cases of mild dysplasia, and within 1-5 years in cases of severe dysplasia.

Therefore, annual gynecological check-ups and smear tests, and regular follow-up appointments if precancerous cells are detected in a smear test or biopsy, are of great importance.
