Carcinoma in situ, essentially means Cancer 'in place'. However that term is kind of misleading. Level II usually implies you have dysplasia. Dysplasia is pre-cancerous cells that have grown on your cervix. I'm going to assume you've had your colposcopy/biopsy and are now in the waiting stage for a LEEP or a conization of some kind. These treatments work very well for getting rid of dysplasia.
