Did you know? Dr. Nicolas Papanicolaou innovated what we today call the Pap
smear (named for him) at his medical practice in Greece, but it was tested and brought into
common practice through testing done at Cornell in the 1930s. The Pap test is a method of cervical screening used to detect potentially pre-cancerous and cancerous processes caused by HPV, in the cervix. The Pap test, when combined with a regular program of screening and appropriate follow-up, can reduce cervical cancer deaths by up to 80%.
