May is National Cancer Research Month, a time to honor the scientists, clinicians, and collaborators who are moving us closer to effective treatments and a cure for epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE). Research is the EHE Foundation’s highest priority in our mission to find effective treatments and ultimately a cure for EHE. With no standard treatment available, […]

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 […]
