Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis: Emerging Data and New Insights for Treatment
Program Overview
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is associated with significant morbidity and negative impact on patient quality of life. Recent developments have uncovered numerous potential treatment approaches for CRSwNP by targeting type 2 inflammatory pathways; however, only patients expressing these immune phenomena will respond to these novel treatment approaches. This interactive infographic will cover the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and new/emerging treatment strategies for CRSwNP, including demonstrative case challenges, questions, audio narration, and interactive educational diagrams.
The target audience for this activity is allergy-immunology, ENT, and pulmonology clinicians (MD/DO/NP/PA) managing patients with CRSwNP.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
Accurately diagnose patients with Th2-driven nasal polyps (chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps [CRSwNP]) who may be eligible for treatment with biologic therapy
Describe the underlying pathophysiology of rhinosinusitis-associated nasal polyps and how this may be used to guide selection of novel biologic therapy
Evaluate emerging agents for CRSwNP based on their efficacy and safety data
