Precancerous conditions of the cervix are changes to cervical cells that make them more likely to develop into cancer. These conditions are not yet cancer. But if they aren’t treated, there is a chance that these abnormal changes may become cervical cancer. If left untreated, it may take 10 years or more for precancerous conditions of the cervix to turn into cervical cancer, but in rare cases this can happen in less time. Precancerous conditions of the cervix happen in an area called the transformation zone. This is where columnar cells (a type of glandular cell) are constantly being changed into squamous cells. The transformation of columnar cells into squamous cells is a normal process, but it makes the cells more sensitive to the effect of the human papillomavirus (HPV).
