Mumps Vaccine Causes Remission Of Human Papillomavirus-Caused Disease.(Brief Article)
2001 JUN 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --

Nigel R.T. Pashley, MB, BS, FRCS(C) of Presbyterian/St. Luke's Hospital in Denver, Colorado, is the author of the pilot study indicating the effectiveness of using an inexpensive and safe mumps vaccine as a method of inducing remission in children with RRP.

The study, involving 11 patients, was undertaken involving children age 18 months to eight years. After laser excision of each tumor, 2 ml of reconstituted mumps vaccine was injected at the base of the excision site using microscopic control and laryngeal injection ...
