We are busy planning EHE Support Group Meetings, EHE 360 Connect, Research Office Hours, and more! Check back soon for dates and registration.
Why this matters for people with EHE For people living with EHE, finding an effective treatment and understanding who best benefits from treatments is one of the greatest challenges of this disease. Traditional chemotherapy is often ineffective for EHE, and the search for more effective treatment options is central to our mission at the EHE […]
The EHE Foundation hosted the sixth annual virtual convening of the EHE 360 Global Conference on April 31 – May 1, 2026. The conference brought together patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, regulators, and industry partners from around the world to promote education, broaden research collaborations, and advance therapeutic development for epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE), an ultra-rare sarcoma. […]
What an amazing ASCO 2026 for so many people affected by cancer. The ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago brought tens of thousands of global oncology professionals together with the same goal – to change lives. EHE Foundation Executive Director Denise Robinson was there to represent the EHE community, raise awareness of patients’ needs, and connect […]
For a cancer as rare as EHE, connection is something we intentionally create. On Saturday, April 11, 2026, EHE Foundation and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute hosted an inaugural EHE Education Day, bringing together patients, loved ones, clinicians, researchers, and advocates for a day of learning, discussion, and in-person connection. With more than 25 people in attendance, […]
In March, EHE Foundation was represented at two important meetings in Europe focused on sarcoma, rare cancers, and EHE research. These gatherings were invaluable opportunities to connect with clinicians, researchers, and fellow advocates working to improve care, deepen understanding, and advance progress for people affected by EHE. Executive Director Denise Robinson attended on behalf of […]
Following the publication of results from a phase 2 study of eribulin in two vascular sarcomas, angiosarcoma and EHE, Dr. Tom Chen of National Taiwan University College of Medicine shared commentary in Clinical Cancer Research. He praised the investigators for their collaborative study while also pointing to important considerations for future research. Although angiosarcoma and […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]
