Investigator: John Lamar, PhD, Albany Medical College Dr. Lamar was awarded a 3-year grant by The EHE Foundation in 2022, that aims to identify FDA-approved drugs that inhibit EHE cell growth, and then test them in pre-clinical mouse models for the treatment of EHE. What does this mean for patients? This could mean a shorter […]
Investigator: Ajaybabu Pobbati, PhD, Cleveland Clinic – Lerner Research Institute In 2022, The EHE Foundation funded a grant to Dr. Pobbati for research that looks at a library of current FDA-approved drugs that act as TAZ-CAMTA1 (TC) or TEAD inhibitors, for use in EHE. What does this mean for patients? This could mean a shorter […]
Join us for EHE Community Connections as we discuss “Championing Our Cause: How Patients Support Fundraising.” Collaborate with other patients and caregivers to explore the most creative and effective fundraising ideas. Together, let’s talk about how to better engage our own community of donors, create awareness and raise money for this one-in-a-million cancer! This workshop […]
As we spread sarcoma awareness this month, we ask you to consider a monthly donation. A recurring donation creates a BIG impact in a rare sarcoma, like EHE. We’ve set a goal of 10 new monthly donors! Will you join our Circle of Friends? It’s very affordable and connects you to our small, but mighty […]
Thanks to David Casimir, PhD, JD, for his informative patient-level presentation on June 17, 2023, that addressed the questions: What is the Hippo pathway and TEAD? How do they relate to EHE? How are they being used to develop EHE treatments? How do these treatments move from the laboratory, through clinical trials, to patient care? […]
This summer, EHE Foundation Executive Director, Denise Robinson, traveled to Telluride, Colorado, for YAP/TAZ and TEAD: At the Crossroads of Cancer, an annual scientific workshop dedicated to one of the most promising areas of EHE research today. It was the first time the EHE Foundation had a seat at this particular table, bringing the patient’s […]
Sarah McMullan is a PhD candidate studying epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) in Dr. John Lamar’s laboratory, in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology at Albany Medical College. This summer, the EHE Foundation awarded her a Fellowship Travel Grant for the second year in a row, allowing her to return to YAP/TAZ and TEAD: At the […]
A new retrospective study from Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin describes 41 people with EHE treated at the center between 1997 and 2022, offering a single-center picture of EHE presentation and outcomes. It was published in the Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology in July 2026. In this report, women made up the majority of cases (61%), […]
