Abstract

Background: The earliest cytotechnologists are largely unknown.

Summary: In 1943, the book "Diagnosis of Uterine Cancer by the Vaginal Smear" by Papanicolaou and Traut recognized several women who have largely faded from memory. While Mary Papanicolaou and Charlotte Street are familiar names, others like Alberta Kuder and Huldah Boerker, who inadvertently laid the groundwork for the field of cytotechnology, remain obscure. There were also women like Christine Rassias and Adele Reboul who did not receive recognition. Notably, Mrs. Lady Mary G. Papanicolaou, despite her significant contributions both in the lab and at home since 1914, was not acknowledged in her husband's work until the publication of his Atlas in 1954.

Key message: These women set the benchmark for future cytotechnologists, unknowingly shaping the profession as we know it today.

开创先河的细胞技术专家:协助乔治-N-帕帕尼科拉乌医学博士(George N. Papanicolaou, M.D., Ph.D.)开发用于宫颈癌预防的巴氏试验的女性。
背景:摘要:1943 年,帕帕尼科劳和特劳特在《通过阴道涂片诊断子宫癌》一书中提到了几位女性,她们的名字已逐渐淡出人们的记忆。玛丽-帕帕尼科拉乌和夏洛特-斯特里特是人们耳熟能详的名字,而像艾伯塔-库德和胡尔达-布尔克这样无意中为细胞技术领域奠定了基础的女性却仍然默默无闻。还有像克里斯蒂娜-拉西亚斯(Christine Rassias)和阿黛尔-雷布尔(Adele Reboul)这样的女性没有得到认可。值得注意的是,尽管玛丽-G-帕帕尼科拉乌夫人自 1914 年以来在实验室和家中都做出了重大贡献,但直到 1954 年其丈夫的《图集》出版时,她的工作才得到承认:这些女性为未来的细胞技术专家树立了标杆,在不知不觉中塑造了我们今天所知的细胞技术专业。

期刊介绍: With articles offering an excellent balance between clinical cytology and cytopathology, ''Acta Cytologica'' fosters the understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms behind cytomorphology and thus facilitates the translation of frontline research into clinical practice. As the official journal of the International Academy of Cytology and affiliated to over 50 national cytology societies around the world, ''Acta Cytologica'' evaluates new and existing diagnostic applications of scientific advances as well as their clinical correlations. Original papers, review articles, meta-analyses, novel insights from clinical practice, and letters to the editor cover topics from diagnostic cytopathology, gynecologic and non-gynecologic cytopathology to fine needle aspiration, molecular techniques and their diagnostic applications. As the perfect reference for practical use, ''Acta Cytologica'' addresses a multidisciplinary audience practicing clinical cytopathology, cell biology, oncology, interventional radiology, otorhinolaryngology, gastroenterology, urology, pulmonology and preventive medicine.
