This commentary serves to impress the astonishing and selfless contributions that Andromache (Mary) Papanicolaou made toward the scientific development of the Papanicolaou (Pap) test; for she alone was, and remains, the hidden soul of gynecological cytopathology. The odyssey assumes even greater significance as 2014 marks 100 years since the beginning of this saga at Cornell Medical College. An awareness of the background historical details and events is important and relevant to this commentary. Her kindness, thoughtfulness, and devotion to her husband, Dr. George N. Papanicolaou, and his work, shall survive her indefinitely through the Pap test and through the women surviving cervical cancer globally as a result of their combined revolutionary scientific work.
这篇评论旨在铭记安德洛玛刻（玛丽）·帕帕尼科拉乌对帕帕尼科拉乌（巴氏）涂片检查科学发展所做出的惊人且无私的贡献；因为她一直以来都是，并且仍然是妇科细胞病理学背后的灵魂人物。随着2014年标志着这个传奇故事在康奈尔医学院开始后的100年，这段历程具有了更重大的意义。了解背景历史细节和事件对于本评论来说很重要且相关。她的善良、体贴以及对丈夫乔治·N·帕帕尼科拉乌博士及其工作的奉献，将通过巴氏涂片检查，并因他们共同的革命性科学工作而在全球范围内拯救宫颈癌患者的生命，从而使她的精神永远留存。
