"Dr. Papanicolaou's laboratory Room A-108" written in white ink on front cover (see photos). "Dr. G. N. Papanicolaou/ Laboratory Copy/ A-121" written in ink on front flyleaf. With ink name stamp of Dr. G. N. Papanicolaou, Cornell Medical College, 1300 York Avenue, New York 21, N.Y., on front flyleaf (see photos). "Only after several years had elapsed and Papanicolaou applied his cytologic technique to the study of the sexual cycle in women did he make his first observation of cancer cells in a smear from the uterine cervix, which he characterized as 'one of the most thrilling experiences of my scientific career.' His first report on the application of the smear to uterine cancer diagnosis, in 1928, won no clinical acceptance for the technique, however. Cytologic examination of the vaginal fluid seemed an unnecessary addition to the time-tested diagnostic procedures, endometrial curettage and cervical biopsy. In 1943, after a three-year period of concentrated collaborative experience with the vaginal smear for the diagnosis of gynecologic cancer, Papanicolaou and Traut published their widely heralded monograph, Diagnosis of Uterine Cancer by the Vaginal Smear, which acted as 'a new tributary flowing into an old stream and helping it to gather new strength to surmount the obstacles which had blocked its further advancement.' This report encompassed a variety of physiologic and pathologic states, including the menstrual cycle, puerperium, abortion, ectopic pregnancy, prepuberty, menopause, amenorrhea, endometrial hyperplasia, vaginal and cervical infections, and 179 cases of uterine cancer, 127 cervical and 52 corporeal" (Speert, Obstetric & Gynecologic Milestones, p. 289). See Garrison-Morton 6135 for Papanicolaou and Traut's 1941 paper on the Pap smear.
