• #3 Therapeutic Strategies to Prevent the Recurrence of Nasal Polyps after Surgical Treatment: An Update and In Vitro Study on Growth Inhibition of Fibroblasts

  https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/12/8/2841

  We performed an update about the therapeutic strategies used to prevent the recurrence of nasal polyps after surgical treatment. […] Intranasal corticosteroids (INCs) are the first-line therapeutical approach to CRSwNP. These molecules have an anti-congestion effect on the nasal mucosa and cause a reduction in polyp size, increasing nasal airflow. […] INCs used in the postoperative phase allow good control of symptoms, and some authors described a reduction of polyp recurrence in the first year after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). […] Treatment with flunisolide has been shown to reduce the risk of polyp recurrence in the first year after polypectomy. […] Mometasone furoate has been shown to be effective in prolonging recurrence-free time. […] The use of corticosteroids has been shown to be safe and effective to prevent relapses of nasal polyps prolonging recurrence-free time.

Using an aerosol corticosteroid spray may slow recurrences. […] If polyps cause repeated episodes of sinusitis, these episodes can be decreased by dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody (an antibody that is produced in a laboratory from living cells). Dupilumab can help by shrinking the polyps.

  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/chronic-rhinosinusitis-with-nasal-polyposis-management-and-prognosis

  Initial treatment for nearly all patients includes medical management with intranasal corticosteroids (INCS), delivered one of several ways, and nasal saline irrigation. […] For most patients, we offer sinus surgery when there is insufficient response to standard medical management. […] Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), when applied to patients with CRSwNP, is intended to remove polypoid material and inflammatory debris and maximize physiologic sinus ventilation and drainage to facilitate the gradual resolution of mucosal disease. […] Because FESS does not directly treat the underlying inflammatory disorder, sinus surgery must be followed by medical therapy to control inflammatory processes, or symptoms will invariably return. […] In patients with CRSwNP who begin to experience worsening symptom control and have evidence of polyp recurrence, options include biologic agents, more intensive INCS, or revision surgery for polyp removal.
