Send us a textThe journey we've been on together for 71 episodes is taking a thoughtful pause. After two years of deep conversations about neuroaffirming parenting, understanding our children's unique neurological wiring, and moving from compliance-based expectations to relationship-centered approaches, it's time for me to rest and refill my well.Throughout our episodes, we've explored the intricate landscape of raising uniquely wired children—from sensory processing and emotional regulation to anxiety, PDA, and social connection challenges. We've tackled practical strategies like environmental setup, co-regulation techniques, and building connection in everyday moments. More importantly, we've delved into those quieter, deeper parent mindset shifts that transform how we show up for our children and ourselves.This podcast has always been a love letter to parents who want to parent differently, who are learning to trust themselves, trust their child, and trust the process. The pause I'm taking now honors that same principle—recognizing when it's time to step back, when the demands of running a business, supporting families, writing a book, and creating meaningful content each week require a moment of recalibration. But this isn't goodbye—it's a reset, a chance to gather fresh insights and return with even more clarity about what will truly serve you.While I'm away, I invite you to shape what comes next. What parenting challenges leave you feeling lost? What topics around neurodiversity in the home, school, or community would support your journey? Send your thoughts through the My Therapy House website, where you'll also find our online courses covering PDA, communication development, regulation, and more. Revisit any of our existing episodes that resonated with you, and remember: you're not alone. You're doing sacred, unseen work, and this community sees you.

Send us a textWhat if Mother's Day was never supposed to be about flowers and gifts at all? This special episode reveals the forgotten origins of Mother's Day in Australian hospitals, where Janet Hayden collected gifts for lonely mothers who had lost children to war—a far cry from today's commercial celebrations.Beyond the greeting cards lies a profound truth: motherhood carries both extraordinary power and invisible weight. With over 6.5 million mothers in Australia—one in six raising children alone and one in three families navigating developmental needs—the statistics tell only part of the story. Each number represents real women making countless unseen sacrifices daily.The biological toll of parenting is rarely discussed but critically important. Chronic stress literally changes cellular function, with parents of children with disabilities facing significantly higher risks of depression and burnout. This is why self-care isn't selfish—it's survival. Speaking kindly to yourself, resting without guilt, and asking for help before breaking aren't luxuries but necessities that allow you to show up fully for your children.We journey across cultures to witness the beautiful diversity of mothering: Indian mothers balancing multiple roles while honoring traditions, Nepali mothers nurturing with quiet dignity, Chinese mothers sacrificing for their children's futures, African communities sharing mothering responsibilities, and First Nations mothers preserving cultural wisdom across generations. Each expression carries its own wisdom and strength.Motherhood extends beyond birth. Some mother through adoption, like my own mother who chose me. Some mother in classrooms or therapy rooms. Some mother through grief after loss. Your presence today—how you speak to yourself, honor your needs, set boundaries—creates ripples through generations. When you break negative cycles, your child gains freedom to do the same.Ready to transform your parenting journey? The Empowered Parent Program helps you shift from self-doubt to self-worth, creating lasting change not just for yourself but for generations to come. Because your love, though sometimes unseen, shapes your child's entire sense of safety in the world. danabaltutis.com, mytherapyhouse.com.au, https://mytherapyhouse.com.au/your-childs-therapy-journey/ https://www.danabaltutis.com/services

Today my guest is Dr Meredith Herman. What we discuss with Dr Herman: The recently published paper titled "#Path Art: From Glass Slide to Canvas with a Mission of Enlightening the Burdens of Life." The inspiration for the paper came from the use of the hashtag #PathArt on social media, where pathologists share artistic representations of histology and pathology. The research involved exploring the historical use of art in pathology, dating back to the 1600s, and its role in education before modern technology. Pathology is inherently visual, making art a natural fit for the field; many pathologists have creative hobbies. The rise of Path Twitter (now Path X) has positively influenced the pathology community, fostering a movement around pathology art. Path art competitions have emerged, promoting interest in pathology among students and the public. Ethical considerations in path art include maintaining patient anonymity and being sensitive to the serious nature of diseases depicted. The importance of intent in sharing art, aiming for education and appreciation rather than trivialization.

Ellen Greenberg Case Takes Major Turn as Family Wins Settlement, Ex-Pathologist Admits Suicide Ruling Was Wrong A long-awaited breakthrough in the 14-year battle for justice in Ellen Greenberg's death arrived in a Philadelphia courtroom Monday, as her parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, reached a settlement with the city that will result in an expedited review of their daughter's controversial suicide ruling. The Greenbergs, who have fought tirelessly to prove their daughter was murdered, agreed to drop lawsuits against former Philadelphia Chief Medical Examiner Sam Gulino and Homicide Det. John McNamee. Their lawsuit alleged that the officials conspired to cover up evidence that Ellen was the victim of homicide. The settlement also halts a separate case that was scheduled for arguments before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in early 2025. “This is a step forward to bring in the people to justice who are responsible for this homicide,” said Joe Podraza, the family's attorney. “We'd like to find out who the murderer or murderers of Ellen are.” The City of Philadelphia will pay an undisclosed sum to the Greenbergs in July, but monetary compensation was never the goal for Joshua Greenberg. “There is nobody in the world who can say Ellen committed suicide, and that's the most important thing,” he said. “I don't care about the money. I wanted Ellen's suicide taken care of.” His confidence comes from a key development: a sworn admission from former Philadelphia pathologist Dr. Marlon Osbourne, the man who initially performed Ellen's autopsy. Osbourne originally ruled Ellen's death a homicide before changing it to suicide after discussions with Philadelphia homicide detectives and medical examiners. Now, he admits he was wrong. A Stunning Reversal in Ellen's Case In a legal document signed Saturday, Osbourne outlined the evidence that led him to reconsider his stance. His reversal confirms what the Greenbergs' independent investigation has long suggested—that Ellen Greenberg was murdered. The Greenbergs' private investigator, retired Pennsylvania State Police Detective Tom Brennan, uncovered major inconsistencies in the case, including: New witness statements disputing whether Ellen's fiancé, Sam Goldberg, actually forced entry into their apartment. Evidence suggesting Ellen's body was moved after she died, contradicting the crime scene's initial assessment. A neuropathological evaluation confirming no hemorrhaging in a critical knife wound to Ellen's spinal cord, indicating she was already dead when the wound was inflicted. Despite these findings, the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office has not yet committed to changing Ellen's cause of death. Instead, they've agreed to conduct a new review—one the Greenbergs hope will officially overturn the suicide ruling A Flawed Investigation From the Start From the moment Ellen was found stabbed to death in her apartment on January 26, 2011, her case has been plagued with investigative failures. Ellen's fiancé, Sam Goldberg, claimed he returned from the gym to find their apartment door locked from the inside. After allegedly forcing entry, he said he discovered Ellen slumped against the kitchen cabinets, with a knife still lodged in her chest. During his 911 call, Goldberg repeatedly insisted that Ellen had “stabbed herself.” Philadelphia police and the medical examiner's office quickly accepted that explanation, ruling her death a suicide despite the glaring improbability of someone stabbing themselves 20 times—including wounds to the back of the head and neck. Perhaps the most egregious failure came when detectives left the crime scene unsecured. The next day, the apartment was professionally cleaned before a proper forensic investigation could take place. This error effectively destroyed potential evidence that could have pointed to a killer. “These are mistakes that should never happen in a homicide investigation,” Brennan said. “There is no statute of limitations on murder. We will keep fighting.” With the lawsuit settled, the Greenbergs' attorneys are now pushing for outside law enforcement agencies—such as the FBI or the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office—to take over the case. Podraza made it clear that Philadelphia police would not be part of any future investigation. “Frankly, from our vantage point, they were not very cooperative,” he said. “The question will be how receptive other law enforcement agencies will be to pursuing this.” While a wrongful death lawsuit remains a possibility, Podraza said the family will wait to see if a criminal investigation moves forward before making any decisions. For Ellen's mother, Sandee, the settlement marks the end of years of sleepless nights and heartbreak, but not the end of their pursuit for justice. “I hope today we made Ellen proud of us because we certainly were very proud of her,” she said. As for Brennan, who has spent years uncovering the truth behind Ellen's death, he remains hopeful that her killer will one day be brought to justice. “You know, we have all the time in the world,” he said. “There is no statute of limitations on homicide.

Co-hosts Ryan Piansky, a graduate student and patient advocate living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic asthma, and Holly Knotowicz, a speech-language pathologist living with EoE who serves on APFED's Health Sciences Advisory Council, interview Dr. Margaret Collins, a professor of pathology at the University of Cincinnati and a staff pathologist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Dr. Collins was a member of the task force that produced the Guidelines on Childhood EGIDs Beyond EoE. In this interview, Dr. Collins discusses the guidelines and how they were created and shares some of the results, including an algorithm for diagnosing non-EoE EGIDs. She shares why she specialized in EGIDs and what her hopes are for the future development of the guidelines. Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is designed to support, not replace the relationship that exists between listeners and their healthcare providers. Opinions, information, and recommendations shared in this podcast are not a substitute for medical advice. Decisions related to medical care should be made with your healthcare provider. Opinions and views of guests and co-hosts are their own.   Key Takeaways: [:49] Ryan Piansky introduces the episode, brought to you thanks to the support of Education Partners Bristol Myers Squibb, GSK, Sanofi, and Regeneron, and co-host, Holly Knotowicz.   [1:13] Holly introduces today's topic, guidelines for childhood eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) beyond eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).   [1:27] Holly introduces today's guest, Dr. Margaret Collins, a professor of pathology at the University of Cincinnati and a staff pathologist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.   [1:38] Dr. Collins specializes in the pathology of pediatric gastrointestinal disease, especially EGIDs, and is a central pathology reviewer for the Consortium of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Researchers (CEGIR), as well as a member of APFED's Health Sciences Advisory Council.   [2:11] As a pathologist, Dr. Collins examines biopsies microscopically. For EGIDs, she determines the peak count of eosinophils per high-power field, or reports the numbers of eosinophils in multiple high-power fields, and analyzes the tissue for additional abnormalities.   [2:33] Dr. Collins then issues a report that becomes part of the patient's medical record and is provided to the patient's doctor.   [2:41] The biopsies Dr. Collins examines may be the first biopsies for a diagnosis, or follow-up biopsies to determine response to therapy, or as part of ongoing monitoring to determine if inflammation has returned even if the patient has no symptoms.   [3:07] Dr. Collins was inspired to specialize in EGIDs after speaking with patients with EGIDs. She used to give tours of the pathology lab at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. She met affected children and their caregivers. Their courage and gratitude moved her.   [3:43] Ryan mentions the wonderful patients and their families in the APFED community. Holly says that as a patient, it's fascinating to meet a pathologist. Pathologists are generally behind the scenes.   [4:42] Dr. Collins specializes in GI pathology, including eosinophilic-related conditions in the GI tract. EoE, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic enteritis, and eosinophilic colitis.   [5:16] In January 2024, “Guidelines on Childhood EGIDs Beyond EoE” were published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition. Dr. Collins served on the task force that prepared the guidelines.   [5:35] Non-EoE EGIDs affect all sites of the GI tract except the esophagus. All sites of the GI tract except the esophagus normally have eosinophils in the mucosa, which complicates the diagnosis.   [6:03] Like EoE, the diagnosis of non-EoE EGIDs is made after known causes of tissue eosinophilia are excluded.   [6:28] Consensus guidelines help bring attention to best practices and encourage uniformity of practices.    [6:50] This is especially important for rare diseases and for centers that see fewer patients with rare diseases than the more specialized centers. Guidelines based on the best information available help these centers.   [8:03] The best distribution of guidelines is to publish them in the medical literature and sometimes in multiple journals to target audiences of allergists, gastroenterologists, and pathologists. Guidelines may be presented at national meetings to increase awareness.   [8:36] Several specialties are involved in the care of patients who have EGIDs. If patients or caregivers learn of published guidelines, they can also inform their providers.   [9:23] Insurance is a big issue for so many patients. Getting coverage for both diagnostic and treatment options can be complex.    [9:50] The guidelines may be helpful to insurance companies to accept that a certain drug is needed by a patient with a certain condition. However, if the sequence suggested in the guidelines is not followed, there may be difficulty getting coverage in the U.S.   [11:11] Patients can advocate for themselves with insurance companies by explaining that the order of testing is not important but getting the recommended tests done is important.    [11:55] The greatest challenge the task force faced was the lack of large clinical studies and quality research reports. We're making progress in this field but we're at the beginning. Dr. Collins is hopeful that progress will be made in the next two to three years.   [12:24] When there were knowledge gaps, the task force filled them in with their published research and their own experiences. It's always reassuring to have a well-conducted clinical study that verifies that your thinking is correct.   [13:29] How long did it take the task force to create these guidelines? Longer than they wanted it to take! The years they put into composing these guidelines were greater due to the interruption caused by the [COVID] pandemic. They all felt good when they finished.   [14:18] The guidelines were written by 26 authors from five continents. These are international guidelines.   [14:44] Dr. Collins highlights the pathology. The guidelines state that non-EoE EGIDs should be considered clinicopathologic diagnoses, as EoE is, meaning that biopsies from the affected site in the bowel must show excess eosinophils.   [15:10] The guidelines, for the first time, recommend threshold eosinophil values for a diagnosis in the parts of the GI tract other than the esophagus. For a diagnosis of EoE, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 15 eosinophils per high-power field.    [15:36] The guidelines now recommend that for a diagnosis of eosinophilic gastritis, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 30 eosinophils per high-power field is present.   [15:48] For a diagnosis of eosinophilic duodenitis, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 50 eosinophils per high-power field. For a diagnosis of eosinophilic ileitis, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 60 eosinophils per high-power field.   [16:03] For a diagnosis of eosinophilic colitis in the right colon, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 100 eosinophils per high-power field. For a diagnosis of eosinophilic colitis in the transverse and descending colon, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 80 eosinophils per high-power field. [16:12] For a diagnosis in the rectosigmoid, a threshold of greater than or equal to 60 eosinophils per high-power field.   [16:18] These numbers may change over time. One or more thresholds will likely change as we gain more experience with these diseases. The pattern won't change.   [16:29] Several studies have shown that the normal pattern of eosinophil presence in the mucosa in the GI tract is that the number increases from the stomach to the right colon and then decreases throughout the colon to the rectosigmoid.   [17:40] When giving tours of the hospital, Dr. Collins found that people understood better when they knew the numbers and could see the slides of their biopsies.   [18:48] Dr. Collins found literature reviews that suggested that the GI mucosa was often normal in non-EoE EGIDs. She believes that in the next few years, as we publish more and gain more experience, we will realize that is not the case.   [19:14] There is already a method for scoring the mucosa in the stomach in eosinophilic gastritis (EoG) and there are abnormalities found in a majority of patients. We have to work on the rest of the GI tract.   [19:35] Dr. Collins was surprised that there's not very good information about the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in eosinophilic gastritis and eosinophilic duodenitis. There haven't been studies about that. We need to work on that, too.   [20:47] Dr. Collins isn't sure we can recognize misconceptions about non-EoE EGIDs at this point. It might be premature to label any belief as a misconception. We thought that eosinophils were responsible for all symptoms in EoE, but we know now that is not true.   [21:10] Dr. Collins thinks we need to wait a bit before we decide that we know for sure all about non-EoE EGIDs. Ryan is excited to learn what the research will show us next.   [21:44] Holly loved learning about the algorithm in the guidelines.   [22:01] Dr. Collins says this is the first effort to create uniformity in the way in which non-EoE EGIDs are diagnosed. This algorithm can change over time. It provides signposts for the diagnosis, based on the information we have currently.   [22:20] The diagnosis of non-EoE EGIDs should rest on symptoms and the detection of dense eosinophilic inflammation in the mucosa by biopsy and the absence of evidence of other diseases, such as parasitic and other diseases, that might cause dense eosinophilic inflammation in the GI tract.   [22:46] The algorithm suggests that the particular anatomic site or sites in the GI tract responsible for the symptoms should be determined, for example, eosinophilic gastritis or eosinophilic colitis.   [23:03] The algorithm also suggests that the involved part of the wall in the involved anatomic site should be identified.   [23:13] For example, if the symptoms are suggestive of mucosal disease, without deeper mural or wall involvement, the clinical investigation can proceed directly to endoscopy.   [23:26] However, if symptoms suggest partial or complete bowel obstruction, which is typical of deep muscular involvement, then imaging studies should be considered before proceeding to endoscopy, to confirm or refute that there is a bowel obstruction.   [23:47] If the obstruction is identified, a full-thickness biopsy of the bowel wall may be indicated, possibly requiring a non-endoscopic surgical procedure. If obstruction is not identified, then the investigation can proceed to endoscopy.   [24:05] If there is abdominal distension, suggestive of fluid accumulation, consideration should be given to sampling the fluid, using a needle to pull some fluid out to determine if there are numerous eosinophils in the fluid that would indicate eosinophilic ascites, with the eosinophilic inflammation involving the outer lining of the bowel wall.   [24:41] The signposts are a little involved. They are a reasonable way to approach working up a diagnosis of non-EoE EGIDs.   [25:34] How is EoE ruled out before using this algorithm? It's sometimes difficult to distinguish symptoms that are relevant only to the esophagus and symptoms that are relevant only to the stomach.   [26:26] Someone with upper tract symptoms only will have an upper tract endoscopy, especially if that person has mucosal symptoms that seem to be relevant to the mucosa only. The best thing is to take biopsies of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum to be sure where the eosinophil infiltrate is.   [27:06] If the person has lower tract involvement only, such as diarrhea and lower abdominal pain, and no upper tract symptoms, a transnasal endoscopy could be used to determine if there is EoE in addition to the non-EoE EGIDs. Each case is different.   [29:12] As a pathologist, Dr. Collins has seen the guidelines for treating eosinophilic conditions evolve. They've become more specific as our knowledge of the data concerning the disease has increased. PPIs are now considered a treatment for EoE.   [30:12] Dr. Collins says we need clinical trials testing therapies in children and adults with non-EoE EGIDs. We need to determine which patients have single-site disease and will only have single-site disease, and which patients may develop multi-site EGIDs.   [30:42] Those aspects will be addressed in the next version of CEGIR, if it's funded.   [30:49] Ryan tells Dr. Collins it's been fantastic having her on the show. This has been a good overview of non-EoE EGIDs and the new methods clinicians are looking into to help people get a better diagnosis and treatment.   [31:11] Dr. Collins says we don't have validated instruments yet to measure symptoms, evaluate the mucosa, and evaluate the biopsies under the microscopes. We need to create those validated tools to help us determine the significance of our findings.   [31:31] Some data strongly suggest that eosinophilic colitis is different from the rest of the EGIDs; certainly from the upper tract EGIDs. We need to move more deeply into what eosinophilic colitis actually is.   [32:05] For our listeners, feel free to check out the article we've been mentioning in the show notes. We'll include a link to it.   [32:11] For those of you who would like to learn more about eosinophilic disorders, please visit APFED.org and check out the links in the show notes.   [32:18] If you're looking to find a specialist who treats eosinophilic disorders, we encourage you to use APFED's Specialist Finder at APFED.org/specialist.   [32:27] If you'd like to connect with others impacted by eosinophilic diseases, please join APFED's online community on the Inspire Network at APFED.org/connections.   [32:36] Ryan thanks Dr. Collins for joining us today for this great conversation.

Dr. Hedy Kindler joins us on the podcast to discuss the latest update to the treatment of pleural mesothelioma guideline. She discusses the latest changes to the updated recommendations across topics including surgery, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, pathology, and germline testing. Dr. Kindler describes the impact of this guideline and the need for ongoing research in the field. Read the full guideline update, “Treatment of Pleural Mesothelioma: ASCO Guideline Update” at www.asco.org/thoracic-cancer-guidelines.   TRANSCRIPT This guideline, clinical tools, and resources are available at http://www.asco.org/thoracic-cancer-guidelines. Read the full text of the guideline and review authors' disclosures of potential conflicts of interest in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO-24-02425 Brittany Harvey: Hello and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines podcast, one of ASCO's podcasts delivering timely information to keep you up to date on the latest changes, challenges, and advances in oncology. You can find all the shows, including this one at asco.org/podcasts. My name is Brittany Harvey and today I'm interviewing Dr. Hedy Kindler from the University of Chicago, lead author on “Treatment of Pleural Mesothelioma: ASCO Guideline Update.” Thank you for being here today, Dr. Kindler. Dr. Hedy Kindler: Thank you so much. Brittany Harvey: Then, before we discuss this guideline, I'd like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines in ensuring that the ASCO Conflict of Interest Policy is followed for each guideline. The disclosures of potential conflicts of interest for the guideline panel, including Dr. Kindler, who has joined us here today, are available online with the publication of the guideline in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, which is linked in the show notes. So then, to jump into the content of this podcast episode, first, Dr. Kindler, can you provide an overview of the purpose and scope of this guideline update on pleural mesothelioma? Dr. Hedy Kindler: The initial ASCO practice guideline on mesothelioma, which we published in 2018, was quite comprehensive, but since that time incredible progress has been made which has truly transformed the management of this disease. So we felt it was really important to update the guideline now, focusing on four key areas: the role of surgery, new systemic treatments, pathologic insights, and germline testing. Brittany Harvey: Great. Thank you for highlighting those key areas of the guideline. And so I'd like to next review the key updated recommendations for our listeners. So starting with what are the new updates for surgery? Dr. Hedy Kindler: So surgery has always been controversial in meso, with significant geographic variation in its use. Now, it's even more controversial. Recent randomized data from the MARS 2 trial, placed in the context of other data we also reviewed in this update, suggest that surgical cytoreduction should not be routinely offered to all patients based solely on anatomic resectability. Surgery should only be offered to highly selected patients with favorable prognostic characteristics. This includes comprehensively staged patients with early-stage epithelioid tumors. Patients should preferably be treated at centers of excellence which have documented low morbidity and mortality, and this should also be done in the context of multimodality therapy and preferably within clinical trials. Brittany Harvey: Understood. I appreciate you reviewing those recommendations for who surgery should be offered to. So following those, what are the main recommendations for immunotherapy for treating pleural mesothelioma? Dr. Hedy Kindler: So for a disease in which for 16 years there was only one FDA-approved regimen, pemetrexed and platinum, the pace of recent changes in systemic therapy has been a welcome change with the FDA approval of doublet immunotherapy in October of 2020 and the approval of chemo immunotherapy just a few months ago in September of 2024. Now that we have choices, we've tried to help clinicians determine the optimal treatment regimen for the individual patient. Doublet immunotherapy with ipilimumab and nivolumab should be offered as a first-line systemic option to any mesothelioma patient. For patients with non-epithelioid histology, doublet immunotherapy is hands down the recommended regimen based on the dramatic improvement in survival from 8.8 to 18.1 months for immunotherapy compared with chemo. For patients with previously untreated epithelioid mesothelioma, either ipilimumab-nivolumab immunotherapy or platinum-pemetrexed chemotherapy are reasonable options. Therapy can be individualized based on the patient's comorbidities, acceptance of differing toxicities. and treatment goals. Chemoimmunotherapy with pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and carboplatin is a newer treatment option for patients with newly diagnosed pleural mesothelioma. This regimen is noteworthy for its very high objective response rate of 62%. Brittany Harvey: It's great to have those new options to improve outcomes for patients. Beyond the chemoimmunotherapy recommendation that you just described, what are the highlights for chemotherapy recommendations? Dr. Hedy Kindler: So pemetrexed platinum-based chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab still plays a role in this disease and should be offered as a first-line treatment option in patients with epithelioid histology. This regimen is not recommended in patients with non-epithelioid disease unless they have medical contraindications to immunotherapy. Pemetrexed maintenance chemotherapy following pemetrexed-platinum chemotherapy is not recommended. Brittany Harvey: Thank you for reviewing those recommendations as well. So then next, what are the important changes regarding pathology? Dr. Hedy Kindler: Well, one fun fact is that we've changed the name of the disease. It's no longer malignant mesothelioma. Now it's just mesothelioma. Since the non-malignant mesothelial entities have been renamed, all mesos are now considered malignant, so there's no need to use the prefix malignant in the disease name. Mesothelioma should be reported as epithelioid, sarcomatoid, or biphasic because these subtypes have a clear prognostic and predictive value. Knowing the subtype helps us decide on whether chemotherapy or immunotherapy is the optimal treatment for a patient, so it must be reported. Additionally, within the epithelioid subtype, histologic features, including nuclear grade, some cytologic features, and architectural patterns should be reported by pathology because they have prognostic significance. Pathologists have recently identified a premalignant entity, mesothelioma in situ, which can be found in patients with long standing pleural effusions and should be considered in the differential diagnosis. In the appropriate clinical setting, additional testing, including BAP1 and MTAP IHC should be performed. Brittany Harvey: Definitely. These pathologic recommendations are important for treatment selection. So in that same vein, in the final section of the recommendations, what are the updated recommendations from the panel regarding germline testing? Dr. Hedy Kindler: This is one of our most important recommendations, that universal germline testing should be offered to all mesothelioma patients. The proportion of patients with mesothelioma who have pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline variants is similar to other diseases in which universal germline genetic testing and counseling are now the standard of care. This is most commonly observed in the tumor suppressor gene BAP1 and this not only affects cancer risk in patients and their family members, but also has key prognostic significance. For example, pleural mesothelioma patients with BAP1 germline mutations who receive platinum-based chemotherapy live significantly longer, 7.9 years compared to 2.4 years for those without these mutations. Thus, we recommend that all patients with mesothelioma should be offered universal germline genetic counseling and/or germline testing. Brittany Harvey: So there were a large amount of new and updated recommendations in this update. So in your view Dr. Kindler, what is the both importance of this update and how will it impact both clinicians and patients with pleural mesothelioma? Dr. Hedy Kindler: Even as we were researching and writing this update, new data kept emerging which we needed to include. So it's clearly a time of great progress in the management of this disease. We've comprehensively reviewed and analyzed the extensive emerging data and provided clinicians with a roadmap for how to incorporate these new advances into their management of this disease. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely, that is key for optimal patient care. So you've just mentioned emerging data and rapid evidence generation, so what future research developments are being monitored for changes in the treatment of pleural mesothelioma? Dr. Hedy Kindler: Despite these recent advances in disease management, mesothelioma continues to be a lethal cancer, and there's clearly a need to develop better treatments. This includes ongoing studies of novel immunotherapeutic agents such as bispecific antibodies, cell therapy using chimeric antigen receptors targeting mesothelioma tumor antigens, and precision medicine approaches to target tumor suppressor genes. Finally, strategies for early cancer detection and prevention are vital for individuals predisposed to develop mesothelioma due to BAP1 and other germline mutations, as well as for those who are occupationally or environmentally exposed to asbestos. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. We'll look forward to these new updates to continue development in the field. So thank you so much for this mountain of work to update this guideline, and thank you for your time today, Dr. Kindler. Dr. Hedy Kindler: Thank you so much. It's been a pleasure. Thank you for asking me to do this. Brittany Harvey: And thank you to all of our listeners for tuning in to the ASCO Guidelines podcast.
