Sproul, M.D. (October 17, 1907 – January 19, 1999) was an American pathologist whose work with Georgios Papanikolaou of the Cornell University Medical School in New York led to the development of the pap smear.[1] Sproul described the relationship between thrombophlebitis and pancreatic cancer and characteristics of early prostatic cancer.[1][2] Life and careerEdith E. Sproul was born in 1907 in Passaic, New Jersey.[3] She graduated from Barnard College of Columbia University in 1927, followed by Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1931. After a two-year internship at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New York and a residency in pathology at Presbyterian Hospital, Sproul returned to Columbia as instructor in pathology at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. She remained at Columbia for twelve years and was promoted to the position of associate professor before her departure in 1946. She then moved to the American University of Beirut in Lebanon, where she was appointed full professor and served as acting chair of the department of pathology.[3] Sproul returned to Columbia in 1950 and was offered a full professorship in 1961. However, she left the University to join her husband, Arnold Mittelman, M.D. at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York. Here, she served as Associate Chief of Cancer Research and, in 1969, was appointed chair of the department of experimental pathology and Clinical Professor of Pathology.[3] After her death in 1999, her former student from the American University of Beirut, Dr. Henry A. Azar, wrote, "She was for most of us the first and only woman-teacher or woman-in-authority we knew until then, and she was dazzlingly brilliant. Ours seemed, on the surface, a male-dominated world. . . she undoubtedly was a pioneer in a daring and noble form of feminism."[4] PublicationsThe following is a partial list of publications by Sproul:
