He was established as the founder of a new medical specialty, Cytology, a fact accompanied by such significant clinical application that one rarely encounters in the life of a researcher.
His work has timeless value, as it has saved, saves, and will continue to save countless lives. The Pap-Test is the powerful weapon against cervical cancer, the second most common type of cancer and the third leading cause of death among the female population on a global scale.
Almost half a million women suffer from the disease, and 270,000 die each year, the majority in the developing world. The full implementation of this method in every corner of the planet would be the best vindication for this great researcher. Its significance arises from the simplicity and universality of the method's application, for which humanity will owe him eternal gratitude.
