Biologics in Sinonasal Disease
Patient Management Perspectives in Otolaryngology
This is a case-based learning activity designed to outline the workup and management of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps, with an emphasis on the role of biologic therapies (e.g. dupilumab and omalizumab) in patients with more severe disease and/or refractory to other management strategies.
Credits
CME:1.0, MOC:1.0
