  • Overview

    Please note:This activity is no longer available for continuing education credit.

    Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is associated with significant morbidity and negatively impacts quality of life. The good news is that biologic therapies targeting type 2 inflammatory pathways provide additional treatment options for CRSwNP. However, clinicians not only need to accurately diagnose nasal polyps in patients but also recognize the role of the underlying pathology to incorporate biologic agents into treatment regimens when appropriate, as Dr. Joseph K. Han explains.
