It means the cells haven't changed enough to call it cancer.
Precancerous disease of the cervix is commonly detected from an abnormal Pap smear. If untreated, precancerous cervical disease may progress to invasive cancer over the course of several years. The terms used to describe precancerous cervical disease have undergone a number of changes over the past several years. Precancerous cervical disease may be referred to as cervical dysplasia, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), or squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL). When the precancerous cervical disease appears very abnormal under the microscope, it is called carcinoma-in-situ (CIS), or stage 0 cancer of the cervix. A stage 0 cancer is said to exist if the cancer is confined to the cervix and has not invaded beyond the surface cell layer of the cervix.

It means that it's in the very earliest stages of the cancer. To find out even more please check out: http://www.cancer.org and also http://www.cancer.gov (this site is for the NIH-National Institutes of Health and you can request booklets on different kinds of cancer such as cervical). They also have a lot of articles on the sites too that can be of help to people.
