I recently had a cervical biopsy and polyp removed, I’ve just got a letter stating we will await histology results.
Is histology a test for cancer please?

Hello and thank you for your post,
A biopsy is taken and sent to a histopathologist who looks at it under a microscope to see the level of abnormality, while it is uncommon cancer might be found.
It takes a few weeks to get the results. You will then be contacted by the hospital team to have an appointment to discuss the results.
I hope you get the results soon.
Take care
