Through experimentation on guinea pigs, he was able to discern that secretions of those affected with cervical cancer differed from those that were cancer-free. With the help of his wife Andromache, he was able to refine this discovery and help develop what would later be known as the most reliable method of cervical cancer screening.]]> 2023-08-31 19:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sofialuevano/gynecologytimeline/wish/2680276070 sofialuevano https://padlet.com/sofialuevano/gynecologytimeline/wish/2680280956 The first laparoscopic hysterectomy was performed.
