Understanding Quality of Life for People Living With EHE
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 […]
Exploring Eribulin as a Potential Treatment Option for EHE
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) […]
EHE Foundation Welcomes Two Leading Sarcoma Experts to Its Scientific & Medical Advisory Board
EHE Foundation is pleased to announce the appointment of two distinguished physician-scientists to its Scientific & Medical Advisory Board: Nam Quoc Bui, MD, and Benjamin A. Nacev, MD, PhD. Their expertise in sarcoma medical oncology and translational research will greatly strengthen the Foundation’s advisory capacity as we work to accelerate progress in understanding and treating […]
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 Stabilization with Sirolimus: Results From POEM, a Prospective Multicentric Observational Study
Drs. Claudia Giani, Anna Maria Frezza, Silvia Stacchiotti, and colleagues from the Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan, Italy, and Royal Marsden Hospital, London, UK, presented results from POEM: a prospective observational study on Epithelioid Haemangioendothelioma at ESMO Congress 2025. The data presented included 57 consecutive molecularly confirmed EHE patients who entered the study, […]
Hanna Lab at Purdue University: ‘When cells in the body stop following the rules, cancer can take hold.’
You met Jason Hanna, PhD, at the 2025 EHE Global Patient Conference, where he highlighted work his lab is undertaking in EHE. We are thrilled to share a recent publication in Molecular Oncology from the Hanna Lab at Purdue University, highlighting their findings from a study focused on the YAP1-TFE3 subtype of EHE. The YAP1-TFE3 […]
Exciting Progress in EHE Research – Powered by Patients
We are thrilled to share a new publication, “EHE cell cultures are a platform for mechanistic and therapeutic investigation,” made possible by a partnership between the University of Iowa and the EHE Foundation. Under the leadership of Dr. Munir Tanas, Nicholas Scalora, PhD, and colleagues in the Tanas Lab sought to develop long-term EHE cell […]
