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 […]
Exploring a treatment option for hepatic EHE: subsegmental bland embolization
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 […]

Advancing EHE Research on the Global Stage: Highlights from CTOS 2025
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 […]
Retrospective study from Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany
A new retrospective study from Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin describes 41 people with EHE treated at the center between 1997 and 2022, offering a single-center picture of EHE presentation and outcomes. It was published in the Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology in July 2026. In this report, women made up the majority of cases (61%), […]
