Scientists know that most EHE tumors are caused by specific genetic changes called gene fusions. In most people with EHE, two genes, WWTR1 and CAMTA1, are abnormally fused. In a smaller number of cases, a different fusion involving YAP1 and TFE3 is present. In a recent review published in Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, the authors […]

A recent study published in the European Journal of Cancer represents the largest collection of data from people with EHE in Canada. Researchers found that EHE can behave very differently from person to person—about one-third of patients were diagnosed by chance and did not need immediate treatment, while others had more aggressive disease. About half […]

In a recent issue of AME Case Reports, a team led by Dr. Clifford Atuiri describes a case of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) and places it within the broader understanding of the disease. The authors note that EHE in the lungs can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms and imaging often resemble more common lung […]

A recent study published in Cancer Control describes a treatment approach for hepatic (liver) EHE called subsegmental bland embolization, which blocks blood flow to individual tumors. In three patients with multiple liver tumors, most treated tumors shrank significantly, and the disease was initially controlled in all patients. The procedure was well tolerated, with no serious […]
