Description
/li>
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous
disease that impacts a significant portion of the population. Specific
subtypes of the disease include cystic fibrosis, allergic fungal
sinusitis, and aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease. Unfortunately, the
majority of patients with CRSwNP do not fall within one of these subtypes,
and have variable responses to medical and surgical treatment. There are
rapidly evolving theories describing the etiology of CRSwNP that involve
alterations in innate immunity, acquired dysfunction of respiratory
epithelial cells, and external or environmental factors. This book
provides a comprehensive update on the latest theories on the etiology of
CRSwNP as well as a review of innovative and effective medical and
surgical therapies. Special thanks go to D.W. Kennedy, Philadelphia, Pa.,
for contributing the foreword.
Otorhinolaryngologists and allergologists, as well as other physicians and medical providers treating patients with CRSwNP, will find this volume to be an indispensable source of current information.
