Reflecting on 2025 and Looking Ahead With Purpose
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.
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 […]
2023 EHE Research Grants – Funding Impactful Projects That Support Our Mission
The EHE Foundation seeks to support and fund the most promising basic, translational, and clinical research that will expand our current understanding of EHE and accelerate the development of treatments, and a cure for EHE. Each year, the Foundation initiates a new Research Grants Cycle, inviting researchers and clinician scientists from around the world to […]
