Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory disease with an as-yet-undefined etiology. In contrast to the phenotypic classification of chronic rhinosinusitis, endotype classification is based on its underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Endotypes of CRS can provide information on the risk of disease progression, recurrence and comorbidities, as well as identify appropriate therapeutic targets to further guide the precise treatment of CRS. This article classifies the endotypes of CRS based on cytokines, cell composition, IgE and CysLT, and outlines the clinical application of several targeted therapeutic biologics.
