The European Organisation of Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) is conducting research to better understand health-related quality of life (HRQoL) concerns among people living with rare cancers. Recently, researchers analyzed results from a group of 31 people with EHE from 11 different countries who participated in the study. The findings showed that pain–and the […]
Prior research has shown that a class of medications called microtubule inhibitors may be effective at controlling the growth of EHE tumors. Recently, researchers conducted a phase 2 study to test whether the microtubule inhibitor eribulin is a safe and effective way to treat patients whose tumors continued to grow after prior treatment. Six (6) […]

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 […]
