Abstract
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor has been demonstrated in squamous papillomas of Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis patients. This case series aimed at studying the feasibility and efficacy of systemic use of VEGF inhibitor Bevacizumab in advanced Juvenile Onset Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (JORRP) patients. Three pediatric patients with advanced RRP were included in this study. A detailed bronchoscopic and radiological follow-up is presented. All patients responded well to the treatment. We conclude that systemic Bevacizumab can be tried as a feasible and rational adjuvant treatment in advanced JORRP patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
