This manuscript provides a concise review about this structure and the scientists behind it. Keywords: Eponym; Schiller-duval body; Yolk sac tumor The three sensitive diagnostic markers for yolk sac tumor are alpha-fetoprotein, glypican-3 and SALL4. High values of AFP orientate Schiller-Duval Body strongly to diagnosis of YST. Furthermore it is a sensible marker for Schiller-Duval body, (Figures1a and 1b), is a distinctive pathological tumor’s evolution [2,3]. structure seen in the endodermal sinus pattern of Yolk Sac Tumor Walter Schiller (1887-1960) (YST) [1-5]. It consists of a central vessel surrounded by tumor cells -the whole structure being contained in a cystic space often lined by Walter Schiller, was an Austrian-born American pathologist. He flattened tumor cells. It represents an attempt to form yolk sacs [2]. was born on 3 December 1887, in Vienna (Figure 2). He was the only YST is also called Endodermal Sinus Tumor (EST) because there is a link to its discovery. It is Schiller’s stressing of the unique glomeruloid a structure that led the Danish pathologist, Dr. -
On Their Shoulders We Stand!'
GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGY 5, 325-330 (1977) On Their Shoulders We Stand!’ GEORGE W. MORLEY, M.D.2 Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Gynecologic Oncology Service, University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 Received March 23, 1977 Ladies and gentlemen, today as we begin the Eighth Annual Meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists, I am truly excited by the fact that we are well beyond our 5year survival, and it is my hope that, as we increase in importance, this Society will be truly representative of our subspecialty. I do not have the vision to look into the future with prophesy and prediction: I do not wish to comment on the present since that will be done for us during the scientific sessions this week: but I do wish to report on the past in this presidential address, since the past has its effect on the present as well as on the future, and since I believe that there is a time for science, a time for art, and a time for heritage. Didacus Stella, around 65 A.D., said, “A dwarf standing on the shoulders of the giant may see farther than the giant himself.” I repeat, “A dwarf standing on the shoulders of the giant may see farther than the giant himself.” On their shoulders we stand! I shall report on five of these giants. Frederick Schauta was born 128 years ago on July 1.5, 1849, in Vienna, Austria [Il. He was educated at the University of Vienna and quickly climbed the academic ladder. -

Walter Schiller (1887–1960) [1]
Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Walter Schiller (1887–1960) [1] By: Darby, Alexis Keywords: Cervical cancer diagnosis [2] Schiller test [3] Walter Schiller studied the causes of diseases in the US and Austria in the early twentieth century and in 1928, invented the Schiller test, or a way to diagnose early cervical cancer in women. Cervical cancer is the uncontrollable division of cells in the cervix [4], or lower part of the uterus [5]. While living in Austria until his emigration to escape the Nazis in 1937, Schiller concluded that there was a form of cervical cancer, later named carcinoma in situ, that physicians could detect earlier than when tumors start to appear. To determine whether women exhibited that early form of cancer, Schiller stained women’s cervixes with a type of iodine that would stain healthy cervical tissue and not cancerous cervical tissue. Cervical cancer is more deadly to women when it is caught later in its progression, and was difficult to detect in Schiller's time. Schiller’s research enabled physicians to diagnose cervical cancer early, helping women receive treatment quicker and ultimately helping to popularize annual diagnostic exams in the US. Schiller was born on 3 December 1887 to Emma Friedman and Friedrich Schiller in Vienna, Austria. He attended the University of Vienna in Vienna, where he obtained both his undergraduate degree in 1908 and his medical degree in 1912. Following his graduation from medical school, Schiller worked as a bacteriologist in the Bulgarian Army, where he studied bacteria that cause various diseases during the Balkan Wars of 1912 to 1913. -
