Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps affects a significant portion of the worldwide population. This illness is associated with several chronic conditions and has an important impact on patient quality of life, leading to a great societal economic burden. In recent years, biologic medications have been developed and found to be effective in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. This review focuses on these treatment options and their ability to improve patient outcomes, including quality of life. It also reviews available evidence with regards to patient selection, monitoring of patients after treatment initiation, and comparison of different biologics and with other treatment options such as sinus surgery.
