Introduction: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a chronic disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), characterized by recurrent papillomas in the respiratory tract. Presenting as either juvenile-onset RRP (JoRRP) or adult-onset RRP (AoRRP), the severity of the disease is subjective and unpredictable. Lack of curative therapies necessitates disease management involving repeated surgical removal of lesions.

Article Synopsis
  • Infection with low-risk HPV types 6 and 11 can cause recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) in children, which leads to benign growths in the larynx.
  • A systematic review studied the effects of national HPV vaccination programs on the incidence and prevalence of JoRRP, analyzing data from four studies that included 622 patients from countries like Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S.
  • Results showed a significant decline in JoRRP cases after vaccination, with higher vaccination rates linking to lower disease burden, highlighting the importance of widespread HPV vaccination for future health outcomes.

Objectives: To investigate the incidence, laryngeal distribution, management, and postoperative clinical course of patients with newly diagnosed adult-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) in Japan.

Methods: An initial brief questionnaire was sent to 782 institutions, including all 101 core and 627 collaborating institutions providing board certification programs accredited by the Japanese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. A detailed questionnaire regarding patient age, sex, Derkay's score, surgery, and postoperative clinical course was sent to 196 institutions caring for patients with either newly or previously diagnosed RRP.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is caused by human papillomaviruses (HPV) 6 and 11, but the role of their genomic variants in the disease's clinical course is unclear. This study investigated whether long-term persistence of a particular HPV genotype, subtype or genomic variant influences the RRP clinical course. HPV genotyping was performed in paired baseline and follow-up RRP laryngeal tissue specimens of 59 patients.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare, proliferative disease caused by human papillomavirus 6 (HPV6) and HPV11. RRP can occasionally spread and undergo malignant transformation. We analysed samples across time for five RRP patients with malignant transformation and four with highly recurrent, non-malignant RRP by applying high-throughput sequencing.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is becoming increasingly important in head and neck oncology. At this year's conference of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), a large number of papers were presented on the topic of HPV-associated HNSCC, particularly with regard to neoadjuvant treatment approaches, radiation de-escalation strategies, therapeutic vaccines, and treatment monitoring. In this context, study results on the treatment of HPV-related recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) were also presented.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treatments for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) in UK NHS hospitals, involving data collection from patients between April 2018 and August 2022, along with some retrospective data from earlier years.
  • - A total of 304 patients (including 65 children) were analyzed; findings showed that children had a more severe form of RRP compared to adults, with microdebrider surgeries being the most common treatment.
  • - The research concluded that RRP is more aggressive in children, treatment varies by age, and overall management was safe, with few complications and effective results; it highlighted the need for standardized reporting to better track disease progression and safety. *

Article Synopsis
  • Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a benign but aggressive condition caused mainly by HPV types 6 and 11, leading to the formation of warts in the respiratory tract, particularly the larynx, necessitating multiple surgeries for management.
  • A study conducted on 13 patients aged 3 to 30 evaluated the effects of intralesional bevacizumab as an adjuvant therapy, which involved three injections over 12 weeks.
  • The results indicated that this treatment significantly extended the time between surgeries and reduced the total number of procedures needed each year, with no reported adverse effects, showing improvements in patient health as measured by the Derkay score.

Article Synopsis
  • Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a long-term illness caused by HPV that leads to growths in the breathing area, often requiring many surgeries.
  • A 25-year-old woman with RRP had many treatments over the years, but they didn't fully help her, until she tried a new medicine called bevacizumab in 2023, which reduced her need for surgery.
  • This case shows that bevacizumab could be a good option for treating RRP, but more research is needed to ensure it's safe and effective long-term.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients treated for severe cervical cell changes (CIN grade ≥2) have a higher chance of getting more CIN or HPV-related diseases, and vaccination can help reduce this risk.
  • The study looked at whether giving an HPV vaccine before surgery, along with regular check-ups, is worth it compared to just the check-ups alone in the UK.
  • They used models to understand the health outcomes and costs involved, and their goal was to see how effective and cost-friendly the vaccination would be in preventing serious diseases like cervical cancer.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a chronic infection of the airway mucosa by the human papilloma virus, in the form of recurrent exophytic papilloma. Two clinical forms are distinguished: juvenile and adult onset. Depending on their size and location, papilloma can cause dysphonia, pharyngeal discomfort, until obstruction of the airway.

Article Synopsis
  • Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) is linked to low-risk HPV types 6 and 11, with CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells playing a critical role in the immune response against this infection.
  • Research revealed that CD8+ T cells producing interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) expanded in JORRP patients and their levels were inversely related to disease severity and surgical frequency.
  • The study identified specific T cell receptor (TCR) clonotypes that could be targeted for potential TCR-engineered therapies, shedding light on the local immune dynamics in response to HPV6/11 infections.

Article Synopsis
  • Juvenile- and adult-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP and AORRP) are rare and serious medical conditions caused by HPV, leading to growths in the throat and can even be deadly.
  • The main treatment for these conditions is surgery, but getting vaccinated against HPV can help prevent infection.
  • A new model shows that since the HPV vaccine was introduced in the US, it has saved many lives and reduced the number of cases significantly, with expected cases dropping to very low numbers by 2040.
