As partners in EHE research to find better treatments for people with EHE, the EHE Rare Cancer Charity (UK), the EHE Foundation, and EHE ITALIA Associazione Non Solo Laura ODV are excited to share the expansion of the multi-national collaborative research project “The generation and characterization of patient-derived models of EHE to assess the activity […]
Join us for an educational discussion on histotripsy, an emerging treatment for liver tumors. A multi-disciplinary team of experts from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital will explain how histotripsy works, who may benefit, and what patients should consider when evaluating this and other treatment options for hepatic EHE. This session, led by […]
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 […]

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 […]
