Philip Strax

AN AMERICAN RADIOLOGIST, Philip Strax was the joint winner, with Sam Shapiro, of the Charles F. Kettering Prize of the General Motors Cancer Foundation in 1988 for “the first definitive study demonstrating that a screening program of mammography and clinical examination is effective in reducing death rates from breast cancer.” Strax was born on January 1, 1909, in New York, the oldest son of Jacob and Mollie Strax. The family lived in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, and Jacob Strax worked sewing pockets to clothes in a clothing store. [Source: Encyclopedia of Cancer and Society; Strax, Philip]
