TISSUE DONATION IS CRITICAL TO FIND TREATMENTS! Click here to learn more.
We envision a world where Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is easily diagnosed and treatable. Join our dedicated community by subscribing to our emails.
With the generosity, heart, and determination of the EHE community and the EHE Foundation Board of Directors, we raised more than $155,000 — and counting — for EHE Research this Giving Tuesday! In a world with so many urgent needs, we are profoundly grateful for how this community continues to show up for one another to advance our mission of finding treatments and a cure for EHE. Thank you!

What You Need to Know About Tissue Donation
By Seth Haddix, PhD | EHE Biobank Coordinator When patients are thinking about surgery, a new biopsy, or other procedure, their minds are filled with decisions and worry. Tissue donation isn’t usually top of mind, and for more common cancers, it is not something we think about as a priority. For an ultra-rare cancer like […]

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 […]
EHE in Canada: what a national study tells us
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 […]
Pulmonary EHE: a case report and review of literature
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 […]
