Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogenous group of inflammatory conditions impacting the nose and paranasal sinuses. Our understanding of the underlying pathobiology of CRSwNP has substantially improved due to ongoing translational research efforts. Advances in treatment options, including targeted respiratory biologic therapy for CRSwNP, allow for more personalized approaches for CRSwNP patient care. Patients with CRSwNP are typically classified to one or more endotype based on the presence of type 1, type 2, and type 3 inflammation. This review will discuss recent advances in our understanding of CRSwNP and how this may impact current and future treatment approaches for patients with CRSwNP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
