Endotyping Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps: Understanding Inflammation Beyond Phenotypes

Am J Rhinol Allergy. 2023 Mar;37(2):132-139. doi: 10.1177/19458924221149003.ABSTRACTChronic 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.PMID:36848270 | DOI:10.1177/19458924221149003
