Abstract
Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) is caused by persistent infection of epithelial cells by low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11. While multiple infiltrated immune cells have been reported to mediate disease progress, knowledge of HPV-reactive T-cell subsets in papillomas remains elusive. Through single-cell RNA sequencing and RNA microarray, we found that CD8+ tissue-resident memory T (CD8+ TRM) cells with strong interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) production expanded, and were negatively correlated to the disease severity in the frequency of surgery. These IFN-γ+ CD8+ memory T cells were readily activated and expanded in vitro by autologous dendritic cells loaded with HPV11 E7 peptide pool. Moreover, T cell receptor (TCR) clonal expansion was observed in JORRP papilloma tissues, indicating a biased TCR repertoire toward HPV-specific recognition. Finally, we identified and characterized HPV11 E7-specific candidate TCR clonotypes from IFN-γ+ CD8+ memory T cells, suggesting their potential application in TCR-engineered T cells (TCR-T) therapy for HPV11-related diseases. Our findings provided insights into the specific local immune response to HPV6/11 infection and highlighted the importance of IFN-γ+ CD8+ TRM cells in anti-HPV6/11 T-cell immunity.IMPORTANCEThe persistent recurrence of human papillomavirus (HPV) 6/11 infection in papillomas underscores the failure of local immune responses in patients with juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP). Our previous study demonstrated that T cells constitute the predominant immune cell population in JORRP papilloma tissues. Understanding the T-cell-mediated immune responses within JORRP papilloma tissues is crucial for disease control. In the present study, we characterized CD8+ tissue-resident memory T (CD8+ TRM) cells as the primary T-cell subset responsible for local anti-HPV6/11 immunity. Moreover, we identified two HPV11 E7-specific candidate T cell receptor (TCR) clonotypes out of IFN-γ+ CD8+ memory T cells. Overall, our findings provided insights into the local immune responses to HPV6/11 infection and offered information for developing more effective immunotherapeutic strategies against JORRP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With advancements in medicine and economy, it would be expected that there will be changes in the clinical characteristics of upper respiratory papillomatosis. The aim of this study was to examine the current clinical characteristics of upper respiratory papillomatosis, as there are no recent data in the literature. METHODS The medical records of 1894 patients with upper respiratory papillomatosis were retrospectively reviewed. Data extracted included clinical features, laryngoscopy images, and surgical procedure data. RESULTS The upper frequency of upper respiratory papillomatosis in the oropharynx was 69.1 %, and in the larynx was held 28.9 %. The overall postoperative relapse rate was 2.4 %. The relapse rate of laryngeal papillomatosis was 6.5 %. Approximately 2.6 % of cases were in children. All postoperative recurrences in children were laryngeal, and the recurrence rate was 30.4 %. CONCLUSION The oropharynx has the highest frequency of upper respiratory papillomatosis. The larynx, however, has the highest rate of postoperative recurrence. Compared to adults, children are more likely to experience a postoperative recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare disease of the airway for which there is no known cure. Treatment involves the surgical removal or destruction of these lesions. There has been a long-standing debate over the effectiveness of the adjuvant intralesional injection of the immune modifying agent bevacizumab. This study is a systematic review investigating the effect of adjuvant intralesional bevacizumab on patients with laryngeal papillomatosis. The main objective was to assess functional outcomes and efficacy. DATA SOURCES Pubmed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. REVIEW METHODS Search words were "intralesional bevacizumab" AND "recurrent respiratory papillomatosis." Sources were systematically identified using inclusion and exclusion criteria (ie, study publication must post-date 2000, must be peer-reviewed, investigate patients with RRP, apply bevacizumab intralesionally, not systemically). Findings were then collected and analyzed. RESULTS Ten studies were included for analysis. The majority of these studies found an increase in the surgical interval, voice outcomes, and a decrease in tumor burden in most patients. No studies reported side effects or lasting complications related to the bevacizumab injection. CONCLUSION This systematic review provides further evidence for the safety of intralesional bevacizumab injections and their likely positive effect on disease control. Future research would benefit from the implementation of standardized documentation of RRP outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study explores the quality of life among patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) after vocal fold surgery as measured by the outcome scores of the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and the Distress Thermometer and Problem List in Patients with Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (DT&PL). Differences in quality of life were explored within the independent variables age, surgical frequency, weeks since last vocal fold operation, gender, HPV type, surgical location, vaccination with Gardasil©, and a patient's request to speak with a speech-language pathologist. METHODS A single-center, observational cohort study was conducted using VHI and DT&PL scores and demographic and clinical data obtained from patient files. Inclusion criteria were a confirmed HPV type, age 18 years or older, the ability to fill in both questionnaires in Dutch, and having undergone at least one surgical procedure to remove laryngeal papilloma. Relationships of the independent variables with VHI and Distress Thermometer (DT) scores were explored using univariable and multivariable regressions and linear regression models. RESULTS Of 271 RRP patients, 100 met the inclusion criteria and responded to requests to fill in both questionnaires with a minimum of 12 weeks after their last operation. Our study showed a statistically significant negative relationship between age and VHI scores (p = 0.02) in the univariable, and multiple linear regressions (p = 0.01), indicating that patients experienced fewer self-perceived functional voice disabilities with each increase in age. A parallel negative relationship is seen between the variables age (p = 0.03) and DT scores. Our results showed a statistically significant positive relationship between the number of vocal fold surgeries and DT scores (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION The results of this study show a significant relationship between age, surgical frequency, and quality of life in patients with RRP. Older patients have lower Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and Distress Thermometer (DT) scores, indicating fewer self-perceived voice and disease-related quality of life problems. Conversely, a rise in surgical frequency is significantly associated with higher DT scores, reflecting greater disease-related distress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare patient, disease and treatment characteristics of patients treated for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) at a public county versus a private hospital. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted of adult patients undergoing treatment for RRP at a tertiary-care academic center (TAC, n = 48) versus public safety net hospital (PSNH, n = 14), both staffed by the same Otolaryngology providers. RESULTS There was no difference between cohorts in age, gender, medical comorbidities, history of juvenile-onset presentation, or history of prior treatment at a different institution. PSNH patients were more likely to be Hispanic/Latino, primarily speak Spanish, have public or no insurance, and reside in a zip code with lower median income compared with TAC patients. Despite living significantly closer to the hospital, PSNH patients were more likely than TAC patients to present with respiratory symptoms (50% versus 20.8%, P = 0.04), and exhibit more than one involved laryngeal subsite at their first surgical intervention (78.6% versus 27.1%, P = 0.001). They also had high rates of referral for otolaryngologic care via the emergency department (42.9%) rather than outpatient specialty referral (35.7%) and were more likely than TAC patients to require urgent intervention (21.4% versus 2.1%, P = 0.03). There was no difference in time interval from first clinic visit to procedure date or total number of treatments. CONCLUSIONS PSNH patients present with more severe and symptomatic RRP disease compared with TAC patients. This finding may be related to sociodemographic disparities leading to poorer access in care.

Abstract
Juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a lifelong benign squamous lesion associated with HPV infection, particularly HPV6 and HPV11 genotypes. These lesions are rare, but can lead to laryngeal obturations, which can cause disabling dyspnea, or transform into squamous cell carcinoma. The aim here is to provide an epidemiological, biological and clinical overview of this pathology, particularly in children, in order to understand the issues at stake in terms of research and the development of medical and therapeutic management tools.

Abstract
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a non-malignant disease, characterized by the production of wart-like growths in the respiratory tract, affecting both young people and adults (juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, JORRP, and adult-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, AORRP, respectively). Infection caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) is known as the main factor involved in RRP development. Complications of RRP may rarely occur, including lung involvement and malignant transformation. The present systematic review aimed to evaluate the prevalence of severe complications, such as lung involvement and lung tumor in JORRP and AORRP patients, and assess the role of HPV genotypes in the progression of disease severity following the guideline for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA Statement). A total of 378 studies were found on PubMed and Scopus using the following MESH terms: "recurrent respiratory papillomatosis and lung tumor" and "pulmonary tumor and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis". Basing on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 11 studies were included in the systematic review. We found a pooled prevalence of 8% (95% CI: 4-14%; I2: 87.5%) for lung involvement in RRP patients. In addition, we found a pooled risk difference of 5% in lung involvement between JORRP and AORRP (95% CI: -7-18%; I2: 85.6%, p-value: 0.41). Among patients with lung involvement, we observed a pooled prevalence of lung tumor of 4% (95% CI:1-7%; I2: 67.1%) and a pooled prevalence mortality for this group of 4% (95% CI:2-6%; I2: 0%). Overall, the positivity rate for HPV-6 and -11 in patients with RRP was 91%. Considering only cases with pulmonary involvement, the pooled prevalence for HPV-11 was 21% (95% CI: 5-45%; I2: 77.2%). Our results evidenced a low/middle risk of pulmonary involvement and lung tumor in JORRP and AORRP patients, with an increased risk for HPV-11-positive patients. Further studies should be performed to improve knowledge and adopt preventive measures to contrast the progression to severe diseases in RRP patients.

Abstract
The human papillomavirus can induce condyloma acuminata, a benign papillomatous squamous growth with a fibrovascular core that arises in the vaginal canal. These illnesses typically afflict women who are fertile and are frequently encountered during pregnancy, manifesting with a variety of symptoms. The influences of hormones and vaginal secretions cause the lesion to expand quickly during pregnancy. Viral infections are known to be one risk factor for threatening abortions. Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) during pregnancy has been associated with a risk for spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, and abnormalities in the placenta. There are many therapeutic approaches available to address the disease; however, it is still unclear which one is the most successful. Additionally, organogenesis is crucial throughout the first trimester, and treatment during this period may elevate the risk of spontaneous abortion. Here, we describe the case of a young woman who experienced vaginal lesions during the first trimester of her pregnancy.

Abstract
Background: Respiratory papillomatosis is one of the common benign lesions of the airway that is often difficult to treat and carries significant morbidity. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that acts upon vascular endothelial growth factor receptor and is known to have an effect in respiratory papillomatosis. This study aims to systematically review the literature on efficacy of intralesional Bevacizumab in juvenile onset respiratory papillomatosis. Materials and methods. A systematic search of literature in various databases was conducted. The search was restricted to the English language, however, no restrictions were made regarding the date of publication keeping December 31st, 2020 as the last date of publication. We strictly complied with the PRISMA guidelines. Results. Of 145 articles analyzed, only 3 were selected as eligible and a total of twenty-one cases were evaluated. There was improvement in anatomic Derkay score after initiating intralesional Bevacizumb with reduction in the number of surgeries. Where reported, voice related functional outcomes also were also improved. No adverse effect related to the drug was reported. Conclusion: Intralesional Bevacizumab can be a promising efficacious, and safe adjuvant in the management of JORRP. Well-designed studies are further required in the future to prove its efficacy and safety over other adjuvants available.

Abstract
Objectives Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a benign, rare disease caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) that can be divided into juvenile and adult forms. The course of the disease is variable, but is usually more aggressive in the juvenile form. The standard surgical treatment is represented by CO2 laser resection, although photoangiolytic lasers represent a valid alternative. Adjuvant therapies have been proposed for disease control in case of frequent surgical resections or spreading into the lower airways. In recent years, the development of immunotherapy led to the use of bevacizumab either intratumorally or intravenously, but the most promising therapeutic development is represented by HPV vaccination. This paper aims to present a narrative review of the literature and the experience of three different University Centres in the treatment of RRP. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical charts of all patients affected by laryngeal papillomatosis and treated in three different University Centres between 2002 and 2022 was performed. The following parameters were collected: sex, age at first evaluation, sites of larynx involved, HPV type, type of first surgical treatment, presence and number of recurrences, surgical treatment of recurrences, adjuvant therapies, side effects and status at last follow-up. Results Seventy-eight patients were available for evaluation. Of these, 88% had adult onset RRP (Ao-RRP) and 12% juvenile onset RRP (Jo-RRP). The glottis was the most frequently involved subsite; all patients were submitted to surgical resection with CO2 laser under general anaesthesia. Recurrences appeared in 79% of the patients, the patients who did not recur were all adults. The mean number of recurrences was 9 (range 1-110). Recurrences were more frequent in children (M = 20; range 2-110) than adults (M = 5; range 1-21). Thirty-two (52%) of the 62 patients who recurred were re-treated with CO2 laser under general anaesthesia, while office-based treatment with a photoangiolytic laser was preferred in the remaining 30 (48%) patients. Adjuvant treatments were applied in 26 patients. The analysis of the course of the disease showed that in the 9 patients with Jo-RRP, 6 (67%) were free of lesions at the last follow-up, while the other 3 (33%) had papillomas. Of the 69 patients with Ao-RRP, 53 (77%) were alive and free of disease at the last visit, 14 (21%) were alive with disease, 1 (1%) was lost at follow-up and 1 (1%) died for other disease. Severe side effects were not observed except for 2 patients, who developed posterior glottic stenosis. Conclusions Our results confirmed the literature review. RRP is a potentially aggressive disease, especially in juvenile onset. Surgical resection is still first-line treatment, but in case of multiple recurrences the use of adjuvant therapies must be taken into consideration.

Abstract
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) 6 and 11 cause 90% of recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis (RLP). It is unclear whether recurrences are caused by new infections or the spread of infected cells. Symptomatic and sometimes curative treatment is laser surgery or conventional microsurgical removal. RLP surgery aims to relieve shortness of breath and improve the voice. Patients (especially children) are affected by voice problems, repetitive surgeries, pulmonary manifestations, and psychological trauma. Vaccination with Gardasil 9 (Merck & Co., Rahway, NJ, USA) prevents new infections with HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 and induces vaccine antigen-specific antibodies and CD4+ T helper cells. According to current studies, RLP can be avoided with prophylactic vaccination. The treatment is associated with a general vaccination risk (European Medicines Agency approval: girls and boys from 9 years). Studies also show that the vaccine after removal of HPV-associated neoplasia/papilloma prevents recurrences. Extension of the vaccination recommendation to prevent recurrences of HPV-associated diseases in men may promote applicability and herd immunity. For rare and treatment-refractory cases with laryngotracheal involvement, systemic therapy with bevacizumab (e.g. Avastin; Genentech, San Francisco, CA, USA), a VEGF antibody, is a promising adjuvant treatment option.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The introduction of effective human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, screening, and treatment programs has led the World Health Organization to call for the global elimination of cervical cancer. Assessing progress toward this goal is supported through monitoring vaccination coverage and its impact. AREAS COVERED We performed a targeted review to assess the characteristics of HPV-related data systems from seven high-income countries (HICs) that represented varied approaches, including Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Scotland, Sweden, and the United States (US). Included data systems focused on preventive and early detection measures: HPV vaccination and cervical screening programs, as well as HPV-related disease outcomes. Differences were observed in approach to development of data systems, along with variation in geographical scope and methods of data collection. EXPERT OPINION A challenge exists in how to best follow-up the ongoing global-scale elimination efforts in a comprehensive manner. These sources provide a wealth of information regarding the strengths and limitations of, and notable variation among, current data systems used in HICs. This review can inform improvements to existing prevention programs and the implementation of new programs in other countries, and thus support optimization of cervical cancer prevention policy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Comparing Derkay anatomical score at time of procedure, disease characteristics, and mean treatment interval among adult and pediatric patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). STUDY DESIGN Restrospective study. METHODS Retrospective review of juvenile-onset (JO) and adult-onset (AO) RRP patients treated longitudinally at pediatric and adult institutions from 1999 to 2019. Patients were included if they had a tissue diagnosis of papilloma and had at least a 12-month follow-up. RESULTS One hundred and twelve patients met inclusion criteria (68 JO-RRP and 44 AO-RRP). All patients were stratified into either potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) (n = 42), CO2 (n = 21), or microdebrider (n = 49) treatment groups. The Derkay score improved between first and last procedure in the KTP group (mean difference, 3.5; P < .001), CO2 group (mean difference, 4.4; P < .001), and microdebrider group (mean difference, 4.1; P < .001), but overall improvement did not differ across groups (P = .73). Baseline mean to last mean Derkay score improved for nine patients during bevacizumab treatments (mean difference, 3.0; P = .01) but did not improve for these same patients during an interval prior to receiving bevacizumab treatments. Baseline mean to last mean Derkay score improved for 19 patients during cidofovir treatments (mean difference, 3.84; P < .001) but did not improve for these same patients during the interval prior to receiving cidofovir treatments. The AO-RRP population had more patients with dysplasia (50%) compared to JO-RRP population (10%) (P < .001). CONCLUSION Various surgical modalities appear to be equally effective treatments for RRP. Adult and pediatric patients have decreased recurrent disease burden when receiving bevacizumab or cidofovir. AO-RRP patients have more concomitant dysplasia.

Human papillomavirus infections in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion in Peruvian pregnant woman: A cross-sectional cytology-based study. Health Sci Rep 2022; 5:e835. [PMID: 36381406 PMCID: PMC9637939 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Revised: 08/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Low-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) are important in pregnant women because they are risk factors for Condyloma acuminatum and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in the newborn. On the other hand, HPV may contribute to the development of preneoplastic lesions such as LSIL in pregnant women. We aimed to assess the frequency of HPV infections in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) in Peruvian pregnant women. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from 2011 to 2015 in 84 primiparous- and multiparous pregnant women (mean age: 27 ± 6.3 years). Pregnant women of 18-45 years attending gynecology outpatient department were included for the study. LSIL and HPV (nuclear irregularities, koilocytosis, and cytopathic effect) cellular alterations were reported using the Bethesda System guidelines. Results Sixty-four percent had cytological HPV infection (koilocytes and/or pathognomonic signs of infection) and more than a half of pregnant women had a previous Pap test. LSIL was more frequent in multiparous (increased by 12%, p = 0.008), in the second and third trimester (60.7%, p = 0.002), and between the ages of 18 and 30 (42 cases (50%), p = 0.110). This proportion was significatively increased in women with ≥2 sexual partners (39.3%), with an early onset of first intercourse, and from the Rímac Municipality (14.3%) (p < 0.05). The rate of pregnant women with HPV infection increased by 39% between 2011 and 2015 (p = 0.001). Conclusion Peruvian pregnant women with LSIL have a high frequency of HPV infections. These young pregnant women (≤30 years of age), with multiple pregnancy, ≥2 sexual partners, and early onset of sexual intercourse were mainly associated with the third trimester HPV infection and LSIL. To detect early lesions of the cervix, it is key to continue monitoring HPV infections with molecular techniques and screening in pregnant women.

Systematic review of the use of human papillomavirus vaccine as adjuvant therapy for juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol 2022; 162:111314. [PMID: 36116179 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2022.111314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/03/2022] [Indexed: 10/31/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Juvenile-onset RRP (JoRRP) is considered a rare disease with high morbidity and healthcare costs. The management of RRP has received much scientific attention in recent years and several treatment methodologies have been explored, including therapeutic use of HPV vaccine. There has been increasing interest in the off-label use of the vaccine in virus-induced disease processes such as RRP, due to its immunomodulatory effect and activating role on the innate and adaptive immune system. This review explores the efficacy of the HPV vaccination as a therapeutic tool in the pediatric population. METHODS The review of the English literature included three electronic databases, PubMed, SCOPUS, and Cochrane, without publication date restrictions. Studies and reports identified by the database search were reviewed and assessed by two independent reviewers. RESULTS The literature searches identified 768 unique citations, from which 204 duplicates were removed (n = 564). A total of 547 articles were excluded as they did not meet our inclusion criteria. A total of 12 studies (3 experimental studies, 3 case series, 6 case reports) that met the inclusion criteria and reported one or more of the outcomes of interest were included for our review. The assessment of the outcome measures evaluated (number of surgeries during the follow-up period, ISI, SPM, Derkay or severity scores, and remission status) revealed that eight out of 12 studies included in the review showed varying degrees of potential benefits from the administration of the vaccine as a treatment modality compared to surgical interventions and/or concurrent adjuvant therapies alone. CONCLUSION We conclude that while the therapeutic use of HPV vaccination has shown promise for some JoRRP patients, it overall remains uncertain with the currently available data. There is a need for a prospective multi-centric trial with a larger sample size to fully characterize the potential use of the vaccine in the management of JoRRP.

Predictors of prolonged stay after laryngeal surgery for benign neoplasms in children. Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol 2022; 158:111181.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric benign laryngeal tumors can often be treated as same-day surgeries. This study identified factors associated with prolonged hospital stay in children undergoing laryngeal surgery for benign tumors. METHODS A retrospective analysis of records of pediatric patients who underwent laryngeal surgery with a post-op diagnosis of benign tumor was performed with the American College of Surgeons Pediatric National Surgery Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP-P) database (2014-2018). Clinical variables analyzed included comorbidities, total length of stay (LOS), readmission, and reoperation. RESULTS 1775 patients were identified with a mean age at time of surgery of 8.95 years (95% CI 8.76-9.14). 966 (54.4%) were males and 809 (45.6%) were females. Mean LOS was 0.22 days (95% CI 0.12-0.32). Only 128 (7.3%) patients had a LOS of one day or more. Children with a variety of comorbidities, including premature birth, oxygen support, tracheostomy, developmental delay, and cardiac risk factors, had a significantly prolonged LOS (P < .001). Additionally, younger children were significantly more likely to stay overnight (β = -0.041, P < .001). Twenty-three (1.3%) patients were readmitted, 2 (0.1%) were reintubated, and 13 (0.7%) underwent reoperation for related reasons. Despite the association of premature birth, ventilator dependence, oxygen support, tracheostomy, esophageal/GI disease, developmental delay, seizure, neuromuscular disorders, congenital malformations, and steroid use with LOS, only younger age and ventilator dependence were associated with readmission. CONCLUSION This study suggests that laryngeal surgery for benign tumors is safe but recognizes that patients with comorbidities or young children may require a prolonged stay. Awareness of these implications may help guide management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) is one of the most common benign lesions of hyperplastic respiratory epithelial tissue in children and is predominantly caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs) 6 and 11. The clinical course of the disease is variable, and some patients even develop a malignancy. The purpose of this review was to summarize the related factors affecting the disease course in patients with JoRRP. DATA SOURCES We used databases, including PubMed and Google Scholar, to search for publications on factors associated with the genetic, immune, and clinical aspects of JoRRP. The most relevant articles to the scope of this review were chosen for analysis. RESULTS Mother-to-child transmission is the most important mode of disease transmission; other factors, such as immune condition or genetic susceptibility, may be important determinants of JoRRP occurrence. Genetically, the presence of DRB1*0301 and HPV 6/11 E6/E7 is associated with a more severe disease. Immunewise, patients have an enhanced T helper 2-like response. In addition, regulatory T cells are enriched in tumors and may become one of the effective prognostic indicators. For clinical characteristics, patients infected with HPV-11 have more aggressive disease. However, compared with HPV type, age at first onset is a more important factor related to the aggressiveness of JoRRP. Furthermore, socioeconomic status may also affect the course. CONCLUSIONS Genetic, immune, and some clinical factors have been noted to play an important role in the course of JoRRP. Exploring definite influencing factors will be an important direction of research in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Systemic bevacizumab is a new adjuvant therapy for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) that has shown promising preliminary results in children. The objective of this study was to report the largest series to date that includes long-term follow-up data on bevacizumab treatment. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Retrospective review of seven pediatric patients treated within the past 6 years with systemic bevacizumab for RRP refractory to traditional debridement. RESULTS All seven patients had a significant reduction in disease burden after initiation of systemic bevacizumab. There have been no major complications associated with systemic therapy so far. Median duration of bevacizumab treatment was 2.13 years. Three of the seven patients have been on treatment for over 3 years with the longest duration of treatment in our first patient now at 5.5 years. One patient experienced significant disease recurrence on two occasions when therapy was temporarily discontinued and was recently diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. CONCLUSION Systemic bevacizumab is an effective therapy for cases of severe RRP with promising results both in short-term and long-term follow-up. Side effects are minimal. Patients must be followed closely to determine appropriate dosing intervals to control disease and to screen for disease progression. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV Laryngoscope, 2022.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) is a rare and serious disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) presumably acquired during vaginal delivery. HPV vaccination of females through age 26 years, recommended in the United States since 2006, can prevent HPV transmission. We assessed trends in JORRP cases before and after HPV vaccine introduction in the United States. METHODS Case-patients were identified from 26 pediatric otolaryngology centers in 23 U.S. states. Demographics and clinical history were abstracted from medical records. Case-patients were grouped by year of birth, and birth-cohort incidences were calculated using number of births from either national or state-level natality data from the 23 states. We calculated incidence rate ratios (IRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) in 2-year intervals. RESULTS We identified 576 U.S. JORRP case-patients born in 2004-2013. Median age at diagnosis was 3.4 years (interquartile range: 1.9, 5.5). Number of identified JORRP case-patients declined from a baseline of 165 born in 2004-2005 to 36 born in 2012-2013. Incidence of JORRP per 100 000 births using national data declined from 2.0 cases in 2004-2005 to 0.5 cases in 2012-2013 (IRR = 0.2, 95% CI = .1-.4); incidence using state-level data declined from 2.9 cases in 2004-2005 to 0.7 cases in 2012-2013 (IRR = 0.2, 95% CI = .1-.4). CONCLUSIONS Over a decade, numbers of JORRP case-patients and incidences declined significantly. Incidences calculated using national denominator data are likely underestimates; those calculated using state-level denominator data could be overestimates. These declines are most likely due to HPV vaccination. Increasing vaccination uptake could lead to elimination of this HPV-related disease.

Abstract
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), a viral disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), is the most common benign neoplasm of the larynx among children and the second most frequent cause of infantile hoarseness. The course of the disease is variable; some patients experience spontaneous remission, while others may develop an aggressive respiratory compromise. Especially juvenile-onset RRP cases experience shorter intervals between surgical interventions and thus more surgeries overall, causing high rates of depression and voice-related quality of life. Various local adjuvant therapies have been studied with mixed efficacy and some early potential but have failed to show consistent effect across large cohorts of patients. Bevacizumab, a recombinant monoclonal antibody that inhibits VEGF, has shown efficacy in patients with rapid regrowth of papillomas with severe airway compromise, and/or distal multisite spread of disease. We present three juvenile-onset RRP cases successfully managed with systemically administered bevacizumab.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) have significant vocal dysfunction which affects their performance at work. This study aimed to evaluate voice-related work productivity before and after ablative treatment for RRP. METHODS This is a prospective case series conducted at 2 academic laryngology outpatient clinics. Adult employed patients with RRP completed the Work Productivity & Activity Impairment instrument (WPAI), Voice Handicap Index (VHI-10), WorkHoarse, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and a demographics questionnaire immediately before and 1 month after ablative treatment of papilloma. The primary outcome measure was the change in work productivity impairment domain of the WPAI, and changes in ratings before and after ablation were compared using a Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. RESULTS The 32 participants (mean age 45, 84% male) had a median (interquartile range) voice-related work productivity impairment score of 48.8% (30.0) at baseline which was improved to 5.0% (10.0) at 1 month after surgical ablation of papillomata (difference 30.0% (30.0) improvement). For the secondary outcome measures, there were significant improvements in VHI-10 (P < .001), self-reported voice quality (P = .002), and Workhoarse (P = .001), but no significant change in HADS. CONCLUSION Patients with RRP experience significant voice-related work productivity impairment, and ablation of papillomata significantly improves work productivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) is a rare disease characterized by the growth of papillomas in the respiratory tract. In the United States, JORRP is not a nationally notifiable condition and current data are limited. METHODS Children with JORRP aged <18 years were enrolled from 26 pediatric otolaryngology centers in 23 US states from January 2015 through August 2020. Demographic, birth information, and maternal vaccination history were collected from a parent/guardian. Clinical history was abstracted from medical records. Papilloma biopsies were tested for 28 human papillomavirus (HPV) types. Mothers who delivered in 2006 or later were considered age-eligible for HPV vaccination if aged ≤26 years in 2006. We described characteristics of enrolled children and their birth mothers and analyzed disease severity by diagnosis age and HPV type using multiple logistic regression. RESULTS Among 215 children with JORRP, 88.8% were delivered vaginally; 64.2% were firstborn. Among 190 mothers, the median delivery age was 22 years. Among 114 (60.0%) age-eligible for HPV vaccination, 16 (14.0%) were vaccinated, 1 (0.9%) before delivery. Among 162 specimens tested, 157 (96.9%) had detectable HPV; all 157 had a vaccine-preventable type. Disease severity was associated with younger diagnosis age and HPV 11; adjusted analyses found only younger diagnosis age significant (adjusted odds ratio: 6.1; 95% confidence interval: 2.9, 12.8). CONCLUSIONS Children with JORRP were commonly firstborn and delivered vaginally to young mothers; most of the mothers reported no HPV vaccination before delivery. Vaccine-preventable HPV was identified in all specimens with detectable HPV. Increasing preexposure HPV vaccination could substantially reduce or eliminate JORRP in the United States.

Abstract
Introduction: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a rare human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced condition where warts grow within the airway and especially the larynx to effect voice and restrict breathing.Areas covered: A PubMed search using the following search terms was performed: respiratory papillomatosis and cidofovir, alpha-interferon, bevacizumab, PD1, and HPV vaccines. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment. There has been a change in options available for adjuvant therapies with systemic bevacizumab and the potential benefits of prophylactic HPV vaccine. Despite efforts to identify a drug therapy to control RRP, no therapy yet remains which is predictable and effective in all. The current status of therapeutic vaccines and immunotherapy is discussed.Expert opinion: The current adjuvant therapies do offer a reasonable expectation of control but the effect for the individual is unpredictable despite the therapies being based on good science. The current therapies would allow an escalating treatment strategy to be formulated, however a single therapy is unlikely to be curative. Multi-center trials are required such that adequate numbers to show an effect are achieved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is known for its recurrent relapse despite various surgical and non-surgical treatments. Vascular Endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor expression on tissue is reported to be raised in RRP, and anti-VEGF targeted treatment is being explored to decrease recurrences. This study aims to identify the patients most suitable for systemic anti-VEGF therapy. METHODS The study design was a prospective cohort evaluation. The study group included all consecutive cases of RP treated surgically from November 2016-June 2019. Tissue receptor expression and serum levels of VEGF were assessed by immunohistochemistry and ELISA assay. Control samples for normal levels obtained by serum samples of healthy individuals and tissue samples obtained from healthy non-inflamed peripheral tissue of laryngectomy specimens. The tissue expression and serum levels of VEGF were compared with various disease-related factors of RP. RESULTS 32 cases of RRPs were included in the study with a median age of 20.85 years (range: 3-60 years). The glottis was involved in all patients and tracheobronchial involvement was seen among 6 patients (18.75%). The systemic and tissue expression of VEGF-A was significantly higher among cases than controls (p= <0.001). The serum level of VEGF-A was significantly higher among cases with higher Derkay's score (>20) (p = 0.02) and tissue expression of VEGF-A was significantly higher in tracheobronchial RRP (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Patients of RP with tracheobronchial involvement and high Derkay's score with strong tissue receptor expression & high serum level of VEGF can be identified as the patients wherein anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody treatment is more likely to be effective and merits further investigation to prove this.

Abstract
ABSTRACT No clear guidelines are available for the management of pregnant women with condyloma acuminata, a human papillomavirus-associated benign neoplasm that develops in the genital tract. We performed a systematic review to gain a better understanding of the management of condyloma acuminata during pregnancy. In this review, we mainly focused on treatments. We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science to identify studies on the treatment of condyloma acuminata during pregnancy. Thirty articles met the inclusion criteria. The treatment methods described in the literature were laser therapy, cryotherapy, imiquimod, photodynamic therapy, trichloroacetic acid, and local hyperthermia. The most effective treatment remains unclear. Various factors must be considered when deciding how to treat. Based on our assessment of the literature, we recommend cryotherapy as the first-choice treatment and laser therapy as the second-choice treatment. Imiquimod can be considered in cases such as extensive condyloma acuminata that is not easily treated by cryotherapy or laser therapy. In such cases, sufficient informed consent must be obtained from the patient. Cryotherapy, laser therapy, and imiquimod have been administered during all 3 trimesters with no severe adverse effects, but we cautiously recommend reserving laser therapy until the third trimester because of the lower risk of recurrence before delivery. There are still many unclear points regarding the management of condyloma in pregnancy, and further research is needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11 and is potentially preventable through vaccination. This study estimated the incidence of juvenile-onset RRP before the implementation of the national HPV vaccination program in Korea. METHODS We conducted a cohort study using claims data provided by a mandatory insurance program to estimate the incidence of RRP and associated healthcare use. Patients with juvenile RRP were defined as those aged ≤12 years with ≥2 admissions or ≥2 outpatient visits during which they received the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision code for benign neoplasms of the larynx (D14.1). RESULTS During 2002-2014, 123 children (74 boys and 49 girls) were diagnosed with RRP. The patients had a mean of 6.5 person-years of follow-up. The incidence was estimated at 0.30/100,000 person-years. The median age at diagnosis was 4.0 years (mean, 4.3). Thirty-six (29.3%) patients underwent surgery, including 23 patients (18.7%) who underwent 2 or more surgical procedures. Severe disease, measured by more frequent surgical procedures and shorter time intervals between consecutive operations, was associated with a younger age at diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS The estimated incidence of juvenile-onset RRP in Korea was similar to that reported in other countries. The RRP burden should continue to be monitored using National Health Insurance Service claims data.

Abstract
Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) is a condition characterized by the repeated growth of benign exophytic papilloma in the respiratory tract. The course of the disease remains unpredictable: some children experience minor symptoms, while others require multiple interventions due to florid growth. Our study aimed to identify histologic severity risk factors in patients with JoRRP. Forty-eight children from two French pediatric centers were included retrospectively. Criteria for a severe disease were: annual rate of surgical endoscopy ≥ 5, spread to the lung, carcinomatous transformation or death. We conducted a multi-stage study with image analysis. First, with Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) digital slides of papilloma, we searched for morphological patterns associated with a severe JoRRP using a deep-learning algorithm. Then, immunohistochemistry with antibody against p53 and p63 was performed on sections of FFPE samples of laryngeal papilloma obtained between 2008 and 2018. Immunostainings were quantified according to the staining intensity through two automated workflows: one using machine learning, the other using deep learning. Twenty-four patients had severe disease. For the HE analysis, no significative results were obtained with cross-validation. For immunostaining with anti-p63 antibody, we found similar results between the two image analysis methods. Using machine learning, we found 23.98% of stained nuclei for medium intensity for mild JoRRP vs. 36.1% for severe JoRRP (p = 0.041); and for medium and strong intensity together, 24.14% for mild JoRRP vs. 36.9% for severe JoRRP (p = 0.048). Using deep learning, we found 58.32% for mild JoRRP vs. 67.45% for severe JoRRP (p = 0.045) for medium and strong intensity together. Regarding p53, we did not find any significant difference in the number of nuclei stained between the two groups of patients. In conclusion, we highlighted that immunochemistry with the anti-p63 antibody is a potential biomarker to predict the severity of the JoRRP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS Determine if the presentation of voice versus airway symptoms at the time of diagnosis of juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) correlates with treatment and outcomes. STUDY DESIGN Original report, Retrospective review. METHODS Twenty year retrospective review of all patients with JORRP presenting at any time in treatment to a single tertiary children's hospital between 1997 and 2017. RESULTS Fifty-four patients presented with a diagnosis of JORRP during the 20 year study period. Of these, 32 were female and 22 were male. African American children made up the majority of the patients (65%), with 19% identifying as Caucasian, 9% Hispanic, and 7% Asian. Fifteen of the children presented initially to the ENT clinic (87% with hoarseness), 12 to the emergency department (92% with airway concerns), 11 to the voice clinic, and the remaining 12 at outside hospitals or clinics and care were transferred. Voice symptoms, namely hoarseness, was the presenting symptom in 31 (57%), airway symptoms, namely respiratory distress or stridor was predominate in 17 (32%), and the presenting symptom was unknown in six cases (11%). Children presenting with airway symptoms were younger at presentation (median 2.1 years, range 0.38-8.77 years) than those presenting with voice symptoms (median 6.7 years, range 0.98-15.13 years), and after adjusting for age underwent a greater number of surgeries in the first year to control disease. CONCLUSIONS Patients who present with airway symptoms present younger and have an increased number of surgeries in the first year compared to those presenting with voice complaints.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To identify factors associated to increased risk of extra-laryngeal spread in pediatric patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted evaluating the clinical charts of patients younger than 16 years with histopathologically confirmed RRP treated between January 2014 and December 2018. Characteristics of patients with and without extra-laryngeal disease dissemination were compared. Odds ratios were calculated and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. RESULTS Data from 82 patients were analyzed. Mean age at symptom onset was 42 months. Fifteen (18.29%) patients had extra-laryngeal spread (ELS) at time of diagnosis and in four, the disease continued to spread to other sites. Of 67 patients with disease restricted to the larynx, 17 (25.37%) developed ELS during the disease course. Human papilloma virus (HPV) typing was performed in 49 (59.8%) patients; in 28 (57.1%) HPV subtype 6 was identified and in 21 (42.9%) HPV subtype 11. ELS was found in 11 patients with serotype 11 (52.38%) and in seven patients with serotype 6 (25%) (P = .048). Statistically significant differences for ELS were also found for age at diagnosis younger than 5 years (P = .045), presence of tracheostomy (P = .031), and need for adjuvant therapy (P = .010). CONCLUSIONS Age at diagnosis of RRP younger than 5 years and presence of tracheostomy were factors related to ELS. A statistically significant association between infection with HPV subtype 11 and ELS were also observed. Adjuvant medication might be considered a protective factor against ELS.

Juvenile-Onset Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis Aggressiveness: In Situ Study of the Level of Transcription of HPV E6 and E7. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12102836. [PMID: 33019611 PMCID: PMC7601884 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12102836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2020] [Revised: 09/25/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) is a condition related to HPV 6 and 11 infection which is characterized by the repeated growth of benign exophytic papilloma in the respiratory tract of children. Disease progression is unpredictable leading sometimes to airway compromise and death. The aim of this study was to explore p16INK4a and expression of the RNA of HPV genes E6 and E7 with a chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) as biomarkers of JoRRP aggressiveness on a bicentric cohort of forty-eight children. CISH was scored semi-quantitatively as high (2+ score) and low (1+ score) levels of transcription of E6 and E7. Patients with a 2+ score had a more aggressive disease compared to those with a 1+ score. These data are a first step towards the use of biomarkers predictive of disease severity in JoRRP, this could improve the disease management, for example, by implementing adjuvant treatment at the early stages. Abstract Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) is a condition related to HPV 6 and 11 infection which is characterized by the repeated growth of benign exophytic papilloma in the respiratory tract. Disease progression is unpredictable: some children experience minor symptoms, while others require multiple interventions due to florid growth. The aim of this study was to explore the biomarkers of JoRRP severity on a bicentric cohort of forty-eight children. We performed a CISH on the most recent sample of papilloma with a probe targeting the mRNA of the E6 and E7 genes of HPV 6 and 11 and an immunostaining with p16INK4a antibody. For each patient HPV RNA CISH staining was assessed semi-quantitatively to define two scores: 1+, defined as a low staining extent, and 2+, defined as a high staining extent. This series contained 19 patients with a score of 1+ and 29 with a score of 2+. Patients with a score of 2+ had a median of surgical excision (SE) per year that was twice that of patients with a score of 1+ (respectively 6.1 versus 2.8, p = 0.036). We found similar results with the median number of SE the first year. Regarding p16INK4a, all patients were negative. To conclude, HPV RNA CISH might be a biomarker which is predictive of disease aggressiveness in JoRRP, and might help in patient care management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis can be treated in the office or operating room (OR). The choice of treatment is based on several factors, including patient and surgeon preference. However, there is little data to guide the decision-making. This study examines the available literature comparing operative treatment in-office versus OR. METHODS A systematic review was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews guidelines. Of 2,864 articles identified, 78 were reviewed full-length and 18 were included. Outcomes of interest were recurrence and complication rates, number of procedures, time interval between procedures, and cost. RESULTS Only one study compared outcomes of operative in-office to OR treatments. The weighted average complication rate for OR procedures was 0.02 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.00-0.32), n = 8, and for office procedures, 0.17 (95% CI 0.08-0.33), n = 6. The weighted average time interval between OR procedures was 10.59 months (5.83, 15.35) and for office procedures 5.40 months (3.26-7.54), n = 1. The weighted average cost of OR procedures was $10,105.22 ($5,622.51-14,587.83), n = 2 versus $2,081.00 ($1,987.64-$2,174.36), n = 1 for office procedures. CONCLUSION Only one study compares office to OR treatment. The overall data indicate no differences aside from cost and imply that office procedures may be more cost-effective than OR procedures. However, the heterogeneous data limits any strong comparison of outcomes between office and OR-based treatment of laryngeal papillomas. More studies to compare the two treatment settings are warranted.

In RRP, serologic response to HPV is frequently absent and slow to develop. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0230106. [PMID: 32160246 PMCID: PMC7065799 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0230106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2019] [Accepted: 02/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is characterized by repeated formation of papillomas in the respiratory tract and is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 and 11. Women with genital HPV infection are slow to develop weak humoral immunity, but respond robustly to the HPV vaccine. We wondered if people with RRP had a similar immune response. Methods A convenience cross-sectional sample of patients with RRP were recruited into one of four groups: 1) adults and adolescents with active RRP, 2) children with active RRP, 3) RRP patients who had undergone HPV vaccination prior to enrollment and, 4) people with RRP who were in remission. Anti-HPV6 and HPV11 serology was determined by cLIA on a single blood draw. Results Of the 70 subjects enrolled, 36, 16, 8, and 10, were in groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. 47% of participants aged >11 years and 81% aged ≤11 years possessed no antibodies against HPV6 or HPV11 (ie. double seronegative). 61% of patients in remission were double seronegative. All participants who had received HPV vaccine previously were seropositive to at least one of these low risk HPV types (ie none of them were double seronegative). Among patients who had active RRP and never had HPV vaccination (n = 52) there was an association between duration of symptoms and seropositivity. Of those who were seropositive, the geometric mean duration of symptoms was 11 years compared to 4.7 years for those who were seronegative (p = 0.001). Conclusion People with RRP are capable of developing a humoral response to HPV6 and HPV11. That response appears to be robust when initiated by the HPV vaccine, but either nonexistent or slow to develop in response to infection. Most in remission do not have demonstrable antibody levels against HPV6 or HPV11.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) causes mucosal wart-like growths of the upper aerodigestive tract, which can undergo malignant transformation. These tumors are difficult to treat, often requiring repeated debridement, which can be associated with high morbidity. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a photosensitizing medication and a topically applied light source to treat early stage endobronchial lung cancer. Most data on the use of PDT in RRP pertain to laryngeal disease. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of PDT in treating RRP involving the lower respiratory tract. METHODS We performed a retrospective multicenter review of adult patients who had a diagnosis of RRP involving the lower airways. We documented details of their disease, treatments, and outcomes. RESULTS Eight patients underwent PDT for ten RRP lesions. Lesions were located in the trachea and more distal airways. Pathology showed malignant conversion to squamous cell carcinoma in half of the cases. All patient underwent debulking and multimodal treatment concurrently with PDT. Treatment was successful in seven patients with improvement in luminal size. Duration of disease-free recurrence ranged from 4 to 33 months. Five of eight patients have sustained ongoing treatment effect, ranging from 10 to 33 months. Most patient had improved quality of life (83 %) and a reduction in interventions (87 %) after PDT. Complications were minimal. CONCLUSION PDT can be a safe and effective tool when treating RRP of the lower respiratory tract, including lesions with malignant transformation. A multimodal treatment approach is associated with improved outcomes. Further prospective studies are needed to fully determine its effectiveness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to describe the frequency and predictive factors associated with laryngeal scarring caused by surgical treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) in children. INTRODUCTION RRP is an important cause of hoarseness and respiratory obstruction in children. The current standard of care for RRP is the systematic and repetitive surgical interventions. The repetitive surgeries may increase the risk of sequelae. A larger number of surgeries, the surgical technique used, and disease severity are related to an increased risk of scarring. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective, descriptive review of the medical charts of patients with RRP younger than 18 years was conducted. Between 2014 and 2017, 79 patients were identified; five patients were excluded. Demographic and clinical data were recorded and analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups, one with and the other without surgical sequelae, for comparison to identify sequela-associated factors. RESULTS 75 patients, 40 (53.3%) male, were analyzed. Age at symptom onset ranged from 2 months to 13 years. Median age at the time of diagnosis was 42 months. Overall, 44% presented with disseminated disease. A median of nine (range, 1 to 86) surgeries were performed in each patient with a median of two (range, 0.6 to 10) of the average number of surgeries per year per patient. 29 patients (38.7%) had laryngeal sequelae. When comparing the patients with and without sequelae, statistically significant differences were found in the variables of dissemination during the course of the disease, overall number of surgeries and mean number of surgeries per year, history and number of previous surgeries at an outside institution, urgent surgeries, and CO2 laser use. Patients who underwent more than 10 surgeries or who had a history of previous surgeries at an outside institution had a higher frequency of laryngeal scarring in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION Scarring secondary to surgical treatment for RRP is common. Surgery-related variables seem to be predisposing factors. A greater number of surgeries and surgeries performed at less specialized centers are strongly related to this complication. Future studies with a larger sample size are necessary to determine whether other factors are involved.

Abstract
We present a 28-year-old man with an early onset of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis at 1 year. The patient had undergone 31 operations over a period of 7 years. After the diagnosis of tracheal papillomatosis, he received a four-time treatment of T-tube insertion combined with laser fulguration. During the last operation, pathologic findings showed moderate dysplasia with malignancy potential. Conformal radiotherapy was then given at 5000 cGY, targeting the tracheal tumor bed. The patient experienced complete remission with no complications. His condition has lasted for 20 years, and has continued up through the time of this report.

Abstract
Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP) is a benign disease of the airway that can result in symptoms ranging from mild dysphonia to respiratory distress to respiratory failure related to colonization of the lung parenchyma. It is a disease that typically begins in childhood and can require treatment indefinitely, though may remit in adolescence. Although treatment includes surgical management, certain cases require adjuvant therapy. Many therapies have been tried over the years with varying levels of success. Our patient presented as a 7 month old male in respiratory distress, who was subsequently diagnosed with RRP. He has required a tracheostomy, ventilation, and frequent surgical debridement for the last 20 months. Due to the aggressiveness of his disease, he was started on systemic bevacizumab (Avastin) in an effort to stabilize his lesions. Though early effect seemed apparent based on Derkay scores, systemic bevacizumab has failed to elicit clinical improvement in our patient. He remains with a tracheostomy receiving bevacizumab 10 mg/kg as an intermittent infusion approximately every 4 weeks along with surgical debridement with little to no clinical improvement thus far. In light of the recent successes with bevacizumab therapy, this case highlights the difficulty in finding new treatment for this disease.

Abstract
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is characterized by benign exophytic lesions of the respiratory tract caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), in particular low-risk HPV6 and HPV11. Aggressiveness varies greatly among patients. Surgical excision is the current standard of care for RRP, with adjuvant therapy used when surgery cannot control disease recurrence. Numerous adjuvant therapies have been used to control RRP with some success, but none are curative. Current literature supports a polarization of the adaptive immune response to a T helper type 2 (Th2)-like or T regulatory phenotype, driven by a complex interplay between innate immunity, adaptive immunity and HPV6/11 proteins. Additionally, certain immunogenetic polymorphisms can predispose individuals to an HPV6/11-tolerant microenvironment. As a result, immunomodulatory efforts are being made to restore the host immune system to a more balanced T cell phenotype and clear viral infection. Literature has shown exciting evidence for the role of HPV vaccination with Gardasil or Gardasil-9 as both primary prevention, by decreasing incidence through childhood vaccinations, and secondary prevention, by treating active RRP disease. Multi-institution randomized clinical trials are needed to better assess their efficacy as treatment for active disease. Interestingly, a DNA vaccine has recently shown in-vitro success in generating a more robust CD8+ T cell response. Furthermore, clinical trials for programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors are under investigation for RRP management. Molecular insights into RRP, in particular the interplay between RRP and the immune system, are needed to advance our understanding of this disease and may lead to the identification of immunomodulatory agents to better manage RRP.

Abstract
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is a noninvasive benign epithelial tumor caused by human papillomavirus. Clinically, it featured rapid growth, multifocus, and frequent recurrence. Though a number of therapies have been investigated, the recurrence after treatment is always a challenge. In this report, we describe a 27-year-old male patient with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis who was treated with CO2 laser therapy followed by 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT). There was no adverse reaction after treatment and no recurrence during the follow-up time.

Abstract
Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JRRP) is a rare and debilitating childhood disease that presents with recurrent growth of papillomas in the upper airway. Two common human papillomaviruses (HPVs), HPV-6 and -11, are implicated in most cases, but it is still not understood why only a small proportion of children develop JRRP following exposure to these common viruses. We report 2 siblings with a syndromic form of JRRP associated with mild dermatologic abnormalities. Whole-exome sequencing of the patients revealed a private homozygous mutation in NLRP1, encoding Nucleotide-Binding Domain Leucine-Rich Repeat Family Pyrin Domain-Containing 1. We find the NLRP1 mutant allele to be gain of function (GOF) for inflammasome activation, as demonstrated by the induction of inflammasome complex oligomerization and IL-1β secretion in an overexpression system. Moreover, patient-derived keratinocytes secrete elevated levels of IL-1β at baseline. Finally, both patients displayed elevated levels of inflammasome-induced cytokines in the serum. Six NLRP1 GOF mutations have previously been described to underlie 3 allelic Mendelian diseases with differing phenotypes and modes of inheritance. Our results demonstrate that an autosomal recessive, syndromic form of JRRP can be associated with an NLRP1 GOF mutation.

Background Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare disease characterized by the growth of papillomas in the airway and especially the larynx. The clinical course is highly variable among individuals and there is poor understanding of the factors that drive an aggressive vs an indolent course. Methods A convenience cohort of 339 affected subjects with papillomas positive for only HPV6 or HPV11 and clinical course data available for 1 year or more, from a large multicenter international study were included. Exploratory data analysis was conducted followed by inferential analyses with frequentist and Bayesian statistics. Results We examined 339 subjects: 82% were diagnosed prior to the age of 18 years, 65% were infected with HPV6, and 69% had an aggressive clinical course. When comparing age at diagnosis with clinical course, the probability of aggressiveness is high for children under five years of age then drops rapidly. For patients diagnosed after the age of 10 years, an indolent course is more common. After accounting for confounding between HPV11 and young age, HPV type was minimally associated with aggressiveness. Fast and Frugal Trees (FFTs) were utilized to determine which algorithms yield the highest accuracy to classify patients as having an indolent or aggressive clinical course and consistently created a branch for diagnostic age at ~5 years old. There was no reliable strong association between clinical course and socioeconomic or parental factors. Conclusion In the largest cohort of its type, we have identified a critical age at diagnosis which demarcates a more aggressive from less aggressive clinical course.

Abstract
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) remains a challenging disease afflicting children and adults, resulting in an estimated $120 million per year in United States healthcare-related costs, with annual costs per patient approaching $60,000. Although the prevalence of RRP has declined, RRP remains the most common benign laryngeal neoplasm in children. RRP is unique in its high rate of multisite recurrence, its high burden on patient quality of life, and its high associated healthcare costs. This article summarizes current understanding of the natural history and quality of life burden of RRP, and basic science advancements in prevention and treatment.

Abstract
The most common benign neoplasm of the pharynx is papilloma. It is characterized by bulging brittle lesions, which are pedicled or sessile, whitish-grey or pinkish colour. Progressive hoarseness is the main clinical feature. When the papillomata spread throughout the tracheobronchial tree symptoms such as chronic cough, stridor, dyspnea or acute respiratory distress are mostly present. Hemoptysis as a presenting symptom is exceptionally rare in patients with pharyngeal papillomatosis. Herein, we report a case of pharyngeal papillomatosis in which hemoptysis was the primary clinical manifestation. The clinical and therapeutic aspects of the disease are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Background Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) or laryngeal papillomatosis is a disease caused by papillomavirus infection. Methods In this phase I/II clinical trial, we evaluated the efficacy of the modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) E2 virus in the treatment of RRP. Twenty‐nine patients (18 female and 11 male) underwent injection of MVA E2 directly into the borders of the vocal cords where lesions were seen and were monitored by direct laryngoscopy. The immune response was assessed by the determination of CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ lymphocytes counts. The presence of papillomavirus was determined by polymerase chain reaction analysis. Results Lesions were completely eliminated in 13 patients (44.8%). In 16 patients (55.2%), lesions recurred between 6 and 18 months after treatment; these patients received a second round of treatment with MVA E2, and they are not seen with new recurrences. Conclusion The MVA E2 vaccine has excellent potential for generating complete regression of RRP lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) is preventable through vaccination. This study was motivated by the recent thrust of the Zimbabwean government to reduce incidence of HPV related cervical cancer in Zimbabwe through vaccination against HPV. We therefore set out to type HPV genotypes causing RRP in Zimbabwe. We also describe for the first time, the demographics of Zimbabwean RRP patients, the characteristics of patients with different HPV types and possible risk factors of HPV infection in our setting. METHODS We conducted a prospective, hospital based study were patients were recruited from two national otorhinolaryngology hospitals in Zimbabwe. All patients diagnosed with RRP during a twenty four month period were included in the study. A questionnaire was administered per patient to collect both demographic and clinical variables. HPV DNA was extracted from formalin fixed paraffin embedded laryngeal tissue. The extracted HPV DNA was amplified using polymerase chain reaction and next generation sequencing was used to genotype the HPV types. RESULTS A total of 52 patients all aged 14 years and under were recruited into the study. Only Juvenile onset RRP cases were observed over the two year period and 64% of the patients were HPV positive. HPV types 6 and 11 were the dominant types observed constituting 85% of all HPV types. The remaining 15% constituted of HPV 16 and HPV 18. 27% of the patients had coinfection with at least two different HPV types. There were no statistically significant differences between the characteristics of HPV positive and HPV negative patients. No statistically significant risk factors were observed. CONCLUSION HPV types 6 and 11 were the predominant genotypes causing RRP in Zimbabwe. Thus the use of quadrivalent or even nonavalent HPV vaccines may play an important role in the prevention and management of RRP in Zimbabwe.

Abstract
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis can be a devastating condition for a child, with severe consequences. Currently, there is no proven successful medical treatment. We describe the use of systemic bevacizumab to treat two children affected by aggressive recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Respiratory symptoms and quality of life improved dramatically in both patients, without observing any toxicity. The only complication was mild proteinuria. Systemic bevacizumab is a promising adjuvant treatment in aggressive recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in children. It is effective and well tolerated. Further studies are needed to establish the optimal dosing frequency and duration of therapy. Laryngoscope, 129:1001-1004, 2019.
