Science Saturday: EHE Research Progress & Momentum
Join the EHE Foundation for a special Science Saturday on Rare Disease Day, February 28, 2026, 11:00 am – 12:30 pm ET. This virtual event is designed for anyone affected by EHE who wants an up-to-date view of the EHE research landscape. This free, interactive presentation will highlight Foundation-led research, global scientific advances, and the […]
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 […]
Cancer Identity Session #4: Integrating Cancer Identity Into the Self
We are pleased to present the fourth session with Dr. Tamara Vesel, Chief of Division of Palliative Care, Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics, Tufts University School of Medicine and Dr. Maeve Baechler, LIFE Cancer Coaching. Continuing the discussion, “Who am I now? Integrating the cancer identity into the self,” Drs. Vesel & Baechler […]
Science Saturday – Highlights and Progress in EHE Research
Join Hugh Leonard (EHE Rare Cancer Charity, UK) and Denise Robinson (The EHE Foundation) as they highlight EHE advancements and ongoing research around the world. As an ultra-rare sarcoma (cancer) community, research and awareness relies strongly on patients and advocates to keep moving forward until there are toward better treatments and eventually, a cure. Find […]
Giving Tuesday 2022 a Great Success
Thank you for helping us reach our $150,000 goal on Giving Tuesday to fund the 2023 Research Grants Program! A special thanks to the 374 donors, 16 people affected by EHE who held successful fundraisers, and the countless individuals that shared their personal EHE story and our mission. We are grateful for your contributions and […]
