Combined treatment of anogenital HPV infection with cryodestruction, podophyllin 25% and post-ablation immunomodulation with sinecatechins 15% ointment - a retrospective analysis.

Abstract:

:External genital warts, caused by human papillomavirus, have a significant clinical, epidemiological, and financial impact, including the risk for malignant transformation. Treatment modalities include: (a) destructive (ablative); (b) cytotoxic (proapoptotic) and (c) immunomodulatory, with success and recurrence rates varying from 23% to 94% and from 4.1% to 77%, respectively. Most studies evaluated only single modality therapy, with few reports examining a combined approach for external genital warts management. The introduction of sinecatechins ointment in recent years has resulted in very low recurrence rates of 4.1-10.6%, despite lower initial clearance rates than ablative methods. We present a retrospective review of 27 patients who underwent combined therapy for external genital warts by using one or two sessions of cryodestruction combined with 25% podophyllin as the cytotoxic agent, and post-ablation immunomodulation with topical sinecatechins 15% ointment. This approach resulted in an excellent initial clearance rate of 96.3% with a recurrence rate of 7.4% after a total period of six months of follow-up. We suggest the importance of the combined approach in external genital warts management including post-ablative immunomodulation to augment the immune response and combat the residual latent infection. We hope to encourage trials examining the combined approach to the treatment of external genital warts.
