2022 EHE Research Grant Awards Announced
The EHE Foundation has completed its 2022 EHE Research Grant cycle and is pleased to share that it has awarded the largest grants funding in its history – totaling $291,600 grants to three outstanding applicants. This amazing sum is complemented by additional private funds totaling $250,000, bringing this year’s total research investment to $541,600 USD. […]
An Update from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center – Investigating the Early Molecular Mechanisms of WWTR1::CAMTA1 and YAP1::TFE3 Gene Fusions in Driving the Pathogenesis of EHE
The EHE community, which includes cancer patients and their families from around the world, benefits from the world-class innovative research that takes place at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York City (US). In 2019, MSKCC received a $1 million private donation to establish an International Center of Expertise in EHE and since that […]
Cancer Identity Session #3: Integrating Cancer Identity Into the Self
Mark your calendars for our November Community Connection with Drs. Vesel and Baechler! Join us for the third session on “Who am I now? Integrating the cancer identity into the self.” All are welcome to join, even if you missed previous sessions! This session will NOT be recorded. If you haven’t yet – please complete […]
Immunotherapy: how it works and its role in the treatment of EHE
Jane Gutkovich will go over some basic principles of various types of immunotherapy, available predictive markers to patients response, and current knowledge of immunotherapy efficacy in EHE. Session Recording
The EHE Foundation Funds Fellowship Travel Grants
In June, the EHE Foundation provided two Fellowship Travel Grants supporting young investigators’ participation in a workshop entitled “YAP/TAZ and TEAD: At the Crossroads of Cancer.” The workshop is hosted annually by the Telluride Science Research Center (TSRC) and this year was co-led by notable EHE researchers and advocates – John Lamar, PhD, Albany Medical […]
An important message from Jenni Kovach, President, The EHE Foundation Board of Directors
I am writing today to share an organizational change to The EHE Foundation. After four years as a part-time contractor, Medha Deoras-Sutliff has ended her engagement with the foundation to pursue other opportunities. Medha will continue to provide her services to the foundation until the end of November to ensure a smooth transition. Medha came […]

Reflecting on 2025 and Looking Ahead With Purpose
For the global EHE community, 2025 brought challenges, resilience, and momentum. Grounded in connection and a shared commitment to progress in EHE, we look back with emotion, appreciation, and gratitude, and in 2026, we look forward with determination and hope.
Translating molecular mechanisms of EHE to improve patient outcomes
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 […]
