Overview
Adjuvant therapies (therapies that are used in addition to surgery) have been used to treat more severe cases of laryngeal papillomatosis. Drug treatments may include antivirals such as interferon and cidofovir, which block the virus from making copies of itself, and indole-3-carbinol, a cancer-fighting compound found in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts. To date, the results of these and other adjuvant therapies have been mixed or not yet fully proven. Some side effects of antivirals include dizziness, headaches, and body aches.
