Papanicolaou, GN (English spelling)

...In addition to these diagnostic cytology tests, there are also cancer screening tests conducted by mass screening, such as uterine cancer screening using vaginal secretions and lung cancer screening using sputum. The academic systematization of cancer cytology owes much to the work of the Greek-born American scholar George N. Papanicolaou (1883-1962), and the Papanicolaou staining method is used as the standard staining method for smears, which is why cytology is also called the Papanicolaou test.
[Cytological screening and cytologists]
In the actual microscopic examination, the process of selecting pathologically abnormal cells from the many cells scattered in the smear and determining whether or not there are malignant findings is called cytodiagnosis screening, and the technician who performs this main task is called a cytotechnologist (cytoscreener).

From [Uterine Cancer]

…(1) Cytodiagnosis A diagnostic method in which cells that have fallen off the surface of a tissue or cells that have been scraped off the surface of the tissue are stained and observed under a microscope is called cytodiagnosis or smear test. Its application to cancer diagnosis was established in 1928 by Greek-born GN Papanicolaou (1883-1962), and it is indispensable for diagnosing various types of cancer. Its clinical value is particularly great in uterine cancer. …

[細胞診スクリーニングと細胞検査士]
 実際の顕微鏡的検査にあたり,塗抹標本中にばらまかれた多数の細胞のなかから病的異常細胞を選別し,悪性所見の有無を判別する検査過程を細胞診スクリーニング(サイトスクリーニング)といい,その主要な業務を行う検査技師を細胞検査士(サイトスクリーナー)と呼んでいる。…
