--- Begin Message ---Intralesional Cidofovir application in recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis. Pudszuhn A, Welzel C, Bloching M, Neumann K. ENT Department, Head and Neck Surgery, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Magdeburger Str. 12, 06097, Halle/Saale, Germany. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis is a benign disease of the larynx often leading to organic and functional restrictions. The therapeutic treatment of choice in larynx-obstructing papillomatosis is at present surgical laser ablation. The effectiveness of adjuvant intralesional injection of the virustaticum Cidofovir has been investigated recently in a variety of therapeutic models. The present case study deals with the treatment of recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis by means of surgical laser ablation of the laryngeal papillomas with adjuvant local injection of the virustaticum Cidofovir (dose of 5 mg/1 ml). Within the period from October 2001 to August 2004, ten patients aged between 5- and 70 years were treated with intralesional injections of Cidofovir. Papillomatosis was confirmed histologically in all cases, and the virus types were defined in part. Each of the patients underwent clinical-phoniatric examinations and was photographed for documentation. After 2-7 treatments with surgical laser papilloma ablation and intralesional Cidofovir injections, all patients showed a definite papilloma reduction, while in six cases complete remission was achieved. During the follow-up period of 8-30 months, not a single recurrence of the laryngeal papillomatosis occurred. In the majority of patients, a clear improvement in the voice was achieved. There were no local or systemic side effects caused by the virustaticum. Intralesional injection of Cidofovir is an adjuvant, but not a curative therapeutic option in recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis. Remission of previously frequently recurrent laryngeal papillomas can be achieved, but recurrence after longer treatment-free intervals is also possible. Cidofovir for the treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis: a review of the literature. Shehab N, Sweet BV, Hogikyan ND. Department of Pharmacy Services, University of Michigan Health System, University Hospital, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-0008, USA. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare but potentially severe disease caused by papillomavirus, most often types 6 and 11. The disease, which occurs in both juvenile and adult forms, is characterized by benign epithelial tumors of the airway that most frequently affect the larynx but can also spread along the entire aerodigestive tract. Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is the most common benign neoplasm of the larynx in children and the second most frequent cause of childhood hoarseness. Standard treatment, which is palliative only, consists of surgical excision of papillomata to maintain airway patency and improve voice quality. Recurrence despite repeated surgical procedures is the rule. To date, incorporation of adjuvant treatments has not been reliably beneficial in altering the disease course. Several case series have described promising results with cidofovir, a cytosine nucleoside analog with antiviral activity. To evaluate the data available on the safety and efficacy of cidofovir for the treatment of RRP, we conducted a MEDLINE search for all case reports or series from January 1966-August 2004 describing cidofovir therapy in either adults or children with RRP. The bibliographies of qualifying articles were also searched for relevant references. In both adults and children with mild-to-severe RRP, intralesional administration of cidofovir directly into the site of papillomata was associated with partial-to-complete regression of papillomata, improvement in voice quality and airway status, and decreased need for surgery. Wide variation in intralesional cidofovir dose (2-57 mg), frequency (every 2-8 wks), and duration (4 mo-4 yrs) was found. Successful outcomes have also been reported with intravenous cidofovir, but data are limited to three case reports. Rash, headache, and precordialgia were the only adverse effects reported with intralesional cidofovir. Nephrotoxicity and neutropenia secondary to either intralesional or intravenous cidofovir were not observed. Long-term risks associated with intralesional administration remain to be seen. Further studies are necessary to determine the most appropriate dose, frequency, and duration of therapy, and to fully characterize the safety profile profile of cidofovir when given intralesionally. Cidofovir: to use or not to use? Soma MA, Albert DM. Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Great Ormond St Hospital for Children, London, UK. PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cidofovir is an antiviral agent that has been used increasingly in the last decade as an adjuvant therapy for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. It has been used in patients with moderate to severe recurrent respiratory papillomatosis requiring frequent surgical intervention or if there is evidence of distal spread. Intralesional administration after surgical debulking delivers the medication directly to the site of disease and is thought to have fewer systemic side effects than intravenous infusion. This review examines recent publications for evidence of safety and efficacy. RECENT FINDINGS: Despite its growing popularity, the potential risks related to cidofovir use in recurrent respiratory papillomatosis have not been well documented. It is known to be nephrotoxic when administered intravenously and there remains concern that cidofovir has carcinogenic potential based on animal studies (mammary adenocarcinoma in rats). A review of the literature reveals no randomized controlled trials, one case-control study, multiple case series and case reports only. Study populations are small, however complete response rates have consistently been reported in approximately 60%. SUMMARY: Based on current opinion and research, it is likely that intralesional cidofovir will continue to have a role in the management of moderate to severe recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Further studies are required to assess long-term outcomes.
