The Cancer Detectives: the history of the pap smear
The Cancer Detectives tells the untold story of the first-ever war on cancer and the coalition of people who fought tirelessly to save women from cervical cancer: a Greek immigrant, Dr. George Papanicolaou; his intrepid wife, Mary; Japanese-born artist Hashime Murayama; Dr. Helen Dickens, an African American OBGYN in Philadelphia; and an entirely new class of female scientists. Dr. Vinita Parkash, Associate Professor of Pathology and of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Services served as scientific advisor for the film.
