Yes, atypical cells can and do become cancerous. Cancer is caused by a number of different factors, such as genetic mutations, environmental exposure to toxins, and lifestyle choices, and it can occur in any type of cell. Atypical cells are abnormal cells that have certain features that are not typically found in healthy cells. These cells may have abnormal shapes, sizes, or structures and may display abnormal behavior in the laboratory.
Atypical cells can become cancerous when they undergo changes that cause them to grow and divide at an uncontrollable rate. This uncontrolled growth leads to the formation of a tumor, which can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. In some cases, atypical cells can also become cancerous if they acquire mutations in their DNA that cause them to grow and divide more rapidly.
When atypical cells are identified, they should be monitored closely to determine if they are becoming cancerous. If so, the cells should be removed and tested to determine the best course of treatment. Atypical cells can also be monitored to make sure they don’t become cancerous, as early detection and treatment can often lead to a more successful outcome.
