Usually, abnormal cells would connote increased risk of cancer. Since there are so many variations of "abnormal" and "atypical", it would be best to discuss this with your doctor, find out exactly what kind of "abnormal" cells were found and what kind of risk is associated with these "abnormal" cells.
