Interferon alpha-2b treatment for exophytic nasal papillomas and human papillomavirus infection.

Objectives: Exophytic Sinonasal Papilloma (ESP) is a benign tumor of the sinonasal tract. Complete surgical excision by endoscopic surgery is the treatment of choice. However, a high recurrence rate (36% at 5-year follow-up) is associated with this method, which may indicate the presence of microorganisms such as Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

Development of a PET/CT and PET/MRI patient information films in collaboration with patient representatives previously treated for cancer.

PET/MRI and PET CT scanning carries an increased psychological burden for patients which may be improved by effective preparation prior to attendance for the procedure. We aimed to devise an online resource for patient benefit prior to PET/MRI and PET/CT scanning. With the help of patient representatives' the style and content for two patient information films was reviewed at each stage of the process to explain the patient journey.
