Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Virology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare, chronic disease.
  • It is caused by specific human papillomavirus (HPV) types.
  • RRP affects the respiratory tract, particularly squamo-columnar junctions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the etiology of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.
  • To discuss current therapeutic options for RRP.
  • To highlight the disease's impact on patients and healthcare.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of RRP etiology and treatments.
  • Analysis of disease progression and impact.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge on RRP management.

Main Results:

  • RRP is linked to HPV infection.
  • Common symptoms include hoarseness and airway obstruction.
  • Malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma is a rare but serious complication.

Conclusions:

  • No definitive cure for RRP is currently available.
  • Management focuses on symptom control and airway patency.
  • Further research is needed for effective RRP treatments.
