The 5 year survival rate for cervical cancer treated in the early, localized stage is 90%. If left untreated, the cancer will spread and the 5 year survival rate drops to 50% or below depending on far the cancer has spread.

If cervical cancer is not treated, it may spread from the cervix to the vagina, then into deeper tissue layers of connective tissue around the uterus. As it progresses, it may spread to the pelvic lymph nodes and other pelvic organs. Advanced-stage cancer may spread to lymph nodes, to other organs in the pelvis, causing problems with kidney and bowel function, or to other organs in the body, such as the liver and lungs.
Cervical cancer is classified in stages that are determined by the size of the cancer and how far it has spread to nearby tissues and other organs, such as the lungs, the liver, or bones. Your doctor will determine the stage of your cervical cancer by gathering information from a variety of tests, including X-rays. The stage of your cancer is one of the most important factors in selecting the treatment option that is right for you. The long-term outcome (prognosis) depends on the stage of your cervical cancer.

When I first became pregnant last year, I was about 6 weeks at the time and they did a pap then and that's when I found out I had HPV. I was told when the results for the pap came back that they found low-grade abnormal cells. They did a colposcopy just to take a look at what was going on, but they didn't take any biopsies.
My OB doctor, who delivered my daughter, told me that I should get paps every six months instead of every year just to make sure that things were O.K. and things were clearing themselves up. So I had a pap after I delivered which was 6 weeks after delivery and the cells were still low-grade. I went back again after 6 months and got another pap. The cells then turned into high-grade abnormal cells so they did another colposcopy but took two biopsies this time. No one told me what high-grade meant. I don't even know what to think. I know that the strain of HPV I have causes cervical cancer. What could high-grade mean?
