Abstract
BACKGROUND: Despite maximum medical treatment and endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) can require revision surgery. With a growing literature on the diversity of cytokine inflammation patterns in CRSwNP, an endotype-driven approach could lead to the identification of cytokine profiles that predict recurrence. METHODS: A monocentric longitudinal study was carried out until June 2019 following CRSwNP patients who underwent surgery for the first time between December 2010 and January 2012. The biomarker profiles were established on blood and nasal secretions at the time of the first surgery (Interleukin (IL)-5, IgE, IgA, eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) and eosinophilic- derived neurotoxin (EDN)). Profiles were compared between the patients still controlled by medical treatment and the patients requiring revision surgery during the course of the follow-up period. RESULTS: Among the 48 patients initially enrolled in our study, 8 required revision surgery (16,7%). Clinical features (asthma, allergy, aspirin intolerance, active smoking) and levels of blood markers measured at the time of the first surgery were comparable between the 2 groups of patients. Levels of IL-5, IgE and ECP in nasal secretions were significantly increased in the group of patients needing revision surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Based on simple approach of nasal secretions sampling, we showed that a predominant T helper 2 proteins expression profile can be associated with recurrent CRSwNP after ESS. Initial immunoprofiling in CRSwNP disease may contribute to better predict the therapeutic response to optimal medical and surgical treatment, and help define the role of innovative targeted treatment, beside corticosteroids and ESS.
