Clinicoimmunological characteristics were followed up in the course of laryngeal papillomatosis (LP) in 96 children. It was found that they had suppressed T-cell immunity, phagocytosis which still worsen with the disease aggravation and recurrences. A decrease in nonspecific resistance, properdin, lysozyme, complement and secretory IgA indicated impairment of nasopharyngeal and laryngeal local immunity. A scheme of combined treatment is proposed incorporating basic therapy with reaferon, systemic immunomodulators (thymalin, T-activin) and local immunocorrection. Such approach reduced the time of basic treatment and prolonged remission 2.5-3-fold.

At the 2024 international cancer congress of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), studies on immuno-oncological therapeutic approaches for head and neck cancers once again took center stage. Following the trend of recent years, neoadjuvant immunotherapy has now reached a central role, and purely surgical studies have become increasingly scarce. This review article summarizes abstracts presented at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting that focus on surgical therapy or in which surgery was a significant component of the study protocol.
