PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP) remains a problematic and challenging disease to manage for children, adolescents and adults.
Newer, more refined and multi-modality surgical approaches assist in the successful treatment of the airway disease and enhance voice preservation. This course will discuss the use of these multi-modality approaches including the newer "blue laser" as well as microdebrider, coblation and simple cup forceps for surgical debulking. The role of biopsy and typing will be addressed. The increasingly important role of Gardasil preventative vaccination will be reviewed. The use of "adjuvant" medication as a primary therapy to reduce surgical intervention and achieve more durable remission has taken on an increasingly important role in RRP treatment. These treatments include intralesional and systemic injection therapies including Cidofovir and Bevacizumab, as well as "alternative" therapies and will be thoroughly discussed. Critical issues such as timing for initiation of adjuvant therapies (a philosophic departure from traditional thought) and intervals and dosing as well as voice, psychosocial and family concerns will be presented. Up to date research advances in therapeutic DNA vaccines and check point inhibitors will be discussed. US and Canada registry information will also be reviewed.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Compare and understand adjuvant therapies, update promising treatments and present an alternative philosophical approach to RRP management.
  2. Demonstrate the benefits of a multi-modality surgical and non-surgical approaches and their potential to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
  3. Focus attention on the value of RRP registries as a tool to demonstrate the efficacy of preventative vaccination strategies in high, low and middle income countries.
