Is it necessary to biopsy the ascus?

Cervical puncture biopsy is an examination of the living tissue of the cervix. After some disinfection measures, a small piece or several pieces of sample tissue are taken from the cervix, stored in a special liquid, and then sent to the laboratory for pathological analysis such as cutting and staining. Cervical puncture biopsy is generally used to confirm the diagnosis of cervical pathological behavior or abnormal tumor cells in cervical smears. It is the most reliable way to identify cervical cancer. So, is it necessary to perform a puncture biopsy on ascus?

During the TCT examination of the cervix, if ASCUS is found, it is not necessary to perform a cervical puncture biopsy. You can refer for a colposcopy and perform HPV screening. In general, if the HPV test is negative and no obvious abnormalities are found in the colposcopy, it can be recommended to screen with TCT again in 3-6 months. If the HPV test is positive, or there is obvious cervical abnormality during colposcopy, a further puncture biopsy under colposcopy can be performed. If HPV16 and 18 are positive, regardless of whether the CT result is ASCUS or not, a further puncture biopsy of the cervix and necessary endocervical curettage must be performed. Therefore, Ascus does not necessarily have to perform a puncture biopsy, but also requires a comprehensive analysis based on the results of colposcopy and HPV testing.
