Exciting Progress in EHE Research – Powered by Patients
We are thrilled to share a new publication, “EHE cell cultures are a platform for mechanistic and therapeutic investigation,” made possible by a partnership between the University of Iowa and the EHE Foundation. Under the leadership of Dr. Munir Tanas, Nicholas Scalora, PhD, and colleagues in the Tanas Lab sought to develop long-term EHE cell […]
Uniting for a Cure: A New Chapter in the Fight Against EHE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hobart, WI – October 9, 2025 – The Center for Research and Analysis of VAscular Tumors (CRAVAT) Foundation has donated its resources to The EHE Foundation in a powerful alignment of vision and commitment to the people affected by epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) and the EHE scientific community. Founded in 2015 by Guy […]
Big Steve Day 2025: A Celebration of Life, Friendship, and Giving Back
On Saturday, June 28, 2025, more than 80 golfers, friends, and family gathered at Stony Creek Golf Course in Oak Lawn, Illinois, for the Third Annual Big Steve Day Golf Outing — a day filled with laughter, camaraderie, and purpose. This annual event honors the life and spirit of Steve Walsh, Jr., whose memory continues […]
New Study Uncovers Unexpected Role for AMPK in EHE
A project funded by the EHE Foundation, the EHE Rare Cancer Charity (UK), and the EHE Rare Cancer Foundation Australia, and led by Dr. Ryan Kanai in the Lamar Lab, was recently published in Cancers, revealing a surprising new role for AMPK in controlling the growth of EHE cells. Dr. Kanai set out to find […]
EHE Advocates Unite to Navigate Complexities of Drug Development
We are thrilled to share a new publication that includes participation of EHE advocacy organizations: “How to foster new treatment development in ultra-rare tumours? Joint EMA-EORTC multi-stakeholder workshops on ultra-rare sarcomas as a model for rare cancers.” Leaders of the EHE Rare Cancer Charity (UK), the EHE Foundation, and EHE ITALIA Associazione Non Solo Laura […]
Preclinical Evidence Supporting the Therapeutic Potential of Statins in EHE
In 2022, the EHE Foundation funded the Lamar Lab’s project entitled ‘Use of Pre-clinical EHE Models to Identify Druggable Pathways to Treat EHE,’ with the goal of identifying FDA-approved drugs that can be repurposed to treat EHE. By looking for drugs that are already FDA-approved, ideally, positive pre-clinical findings could be more rapidly translated to […]

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 […]
