The EHE Foundation had the privilege of attending the CTOS 2025 Annual Meeting, held November 12-15, in Boca Raton, Florida. The Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) is a global, professional medical organization of clinician-scientists, translational researchers, and patient advocates united by a single goal: advancing treatment of sarcomas. For the EHE community, this annual gathering […]
Drs. Claudia Giani, Anna Maria Frezza, Silvia Stacchiotti, and colleagues from the Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan, Italy, and Royal Marsden Hospital, London, UK, presented results from POEM: a prospective observational study on Epithelioid Haemangioendothelioma at ESMO Congress 2025. The data presented included 57 consecutive molecularly confirmed EHE patients who entered the study, […]
Join the EHE Foundation for a conversation about genomic profiling — an important tool that can help guide treatment decisions, support and inform clinical trials, and pave a path to progress in EHE research. Dr. James L. Chen, a medical oncologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of sarcomas at The Ohio State University James Cancer […]
You met Jason Hanna, PhD, at the 2025 EHE Global Patient Conference, where he highlighted work his lab is undertaking in EHE.

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 […]
