EMPOWER YOURSELF WITH KNOWLEDGE
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 […]
In a recent issue of AME Case Reports, a team led by Dr. Clifford Atuiri describes a case of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) and places it within the broader understanding of the disease. The authors note that EHE in the lungs can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms and imaging often resemble more common lung […]
A recent study published in Cancer Control describes a treatment approach for hepatic (liver) EHE called subsegmental bland embolization, which blocks blood flow to individual tumors. In three patients with multiple liver tumors, most treated tumors shrank significantly, and the disease was initially controlled in all patients. The procedure was well tolerated, with no serious […]
The EHE Foundation is proud to announce the appointment of Kristianne (“Kristi”) Oristian, PhD, as our new Director of Research & Engagement. In this role, Kristi will work closely with Executive Director Denise Robinson, who previously led both organizational and research strategy, to advance the Foundation’s mission and strengthen our growing impact in the global […]
Why this matters for people with EHE For people living with EHE, finding an effective treatment and understanding who best benefits from treatments is one of the greatest challenges of this disease. Traditional chemotherapy is often ineffective for EHE, and the search for more effective treatment options is central to our mission at the EHE […]
The EHE Foundation hosted the sixth annual virtual convening of the EHE 360 Global Conference on April 31 – May 1, 2026. The conference brought together patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, regulators, and industry partners from around the world to promote education, broaden research collaborations, and advance therapeutic development for epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE), an ultra-rare sarcoma. […]
What an amazing ASCO 2026 for so many people affected by cancer. The ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago brought tens of thousands of global oncology professionals together with the same goal – to change lives. EHE Foundation Executive Director Denise Robinson was there to represent the EHE community, raise awareness of patients’ needs, and connect […]
