Although many traditional therapies are available for genital warts(GW),one of the major problems in the treatment of GW is a high recurrenence rate.In order to resolve the problem of recurrence,new theraputic approaches have been investigated.New approaches being explored include 5-fluorouracil/epinephrine injectable collagen gel,5% imiguimod cream and human papillomavirus vaccine.Fluorouracil/epinephrine inject able collagen gel achieves high concentration of fluorouracil at the site of injection.Imiguimod is a novel immune-respones modifier,giving good clearance rates and to lerable side effects.Although the use of an HPV vaccine is far away,preliminary studies show that it may be possible to develop suitable prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines to genital warts.
