Prior research has shown that a class of medications called microtubule inhibitors may be effective at controlling the growth of EHE tumors. Recently, researchers conducted a phase 2 study to test whether the microtubule inhibitor eribulin is a safe and effective way to treat patients whose tumors continued to grow after prior treatment. Six (6) […]

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.
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 […]
Farzaad’s Story: Facing EHE with Faith, Strength, and Positivity For Farzaad, the first signs that something was wrong were easy to notice, but impossible to explain.

In March, EHE Foundation was represented at two important meetings in Europe focused on sarcoma, rare cancers, and EHE research. These gatherings were invaluable opportunities to connect with clinicians, researchers, and fellow advocates working to improve care, deepen understanding, and advance progress for people affected by EHE. Executive Director Denise Robinson attended on behalf of […]
Following the publication of results from a phase 2 study of eribulin in two vascular sarcomas, angiosarcoma and EHE, Dr. Tom Chen of National Taiwan University College of Medicine shared commentary in Clinical Cancer Research. He praised the investigators for their collaborative study while also pointing to important considerations for future research. Although angiosarcoma and […]
