George Papanikolaou
Dr. George Papanicolaou was born in 1883 in Kyme, Greece. He attended school in Greece and at the age of 21 obtained the Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Athens. In an effort to further his studies, he went to Germany to study the philosophy of biologic sciences. There he earned his PhD degree in Zoolgy. Dr. Papanicolaou obtained a position as assistant in the Department of Anatomy at New York's Cornell Medical School in 1913. Dr. Papanicolaou worked at Cornell from 1913 until a few months before his death.
The work at Cornell was rich in discovery. Dr. Papanicolaou became interested in the menstrual cycle of women.
In 1943, his findings and conclusions were published in the famous monograph, "Diagnosis of Uterine Cancer by the Vaginal Smear." This diagnostic procedure was named the Pap test.
Dr. Papanicolaou authored over 150 publications, and throughout his life received many honors and awards. Dr. Papanicolaou died on February 18, 1962 of heart failure and pulmonary edema and is buried in New Jersey. Millions of women have received the Pap test and deaths from cancer of uterus has been greatly reduced because of the test. It was predominantly through Dr. Papanicolaou’s efforts that cytology became accepted as a basis for diagnosis.
