Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a complex, heterogeneous inflammatory disease that frequently coexists with lower airway conditions such as asthma and other type 2 inflammatory disorders. Optimal management often requires coordinated care across specialties, yet differences in evaluation, treatment priorities, and care pathways can create challenges in real-world practice.

This interactive webinar brings together an otolaryngologist, pulmonologist, and allergist/immunologist to provide complementary perspectives on the evaluation and management of patients with CRSwNP. Using real-world cases, faculty will discuss how to recognize shared inflammatory mechanisms across the unified airway, assess comorbid disease burden, and apply guideline-based medical and procedural treatment strategies. The panel will also explore patient phenotyping, criteria for treatment escalation, and practical approaches to communication and referral that support integrated, patient-centered care.

Target Audience:

Otolaryngologists, rhinologists, allergists/immunologists, and advanced practice providers who treat epithelial-driven inflammatory airway diseases, including CRSwNP.
