The EHE Foundation invests in innovative science and discovery that aims to find better treatments and a cure for EHE. These investments enable collaboration across diseases and scientific domains. See how the EHE Foundation advances EHE research by supporting scientists attending the YAP/TAZ and TEAD: At the Crossroads of Cancer workshop in Telluride, CO.

EMPOWER YOURSELF WITH KNOWLEDGE
This summer, EHE Foundation Executive Director, Denise Robinson, traveled to Telluride, Colorado, for YAP/TAZ and TEAD: At the Crossroads of Cancer, an annual scientific workshop dedicated to one of the most promising areas of EHE research today. It was the first time the EHE Foundation had a seat at this particular table, bringing the patient’s […]
Sarah McMullan is a PhD candidate studying epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) in Dr. John Lamar’s laboratory, in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology at Albany Medical College. This summer, the EHE Foundation awarded her a Fellowship Travel Grant for the second year in a row, allowing her to return to YAP/TAZ and TEAD: At the […]
A new retrospective study from Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin describes 41 people with EHE treated at the center between 1997 and 2022, offering a single-center picture of EHE presentation and outcomes. It was published in the Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology in July 2026. In this report, women made up the majority of cases (61%), […]
Join Denise Robinson, Executive Director, and Kristi Oristian, Director of Research, for an interactive community conversation about why individual patient experiences are a critical need and an important component in unlocking progress for everyone affected by EHE. If you have EHE, you are one in a million, and you hold a key that can lead […]
We are pleased to welcome two new members to our Board of Directors: Amy Gilmore, CPA, and Dinesh Bande, MBBS, MD, MBA, FACP. Both bring extensive experience, leadership, and passion to our mission. As the leading global non-profit dedicated to finding effective treatments and a cure for EHE, we are grateful that they are lending […]
Building awareness. Finding community. Many thanks to everyone who joined in for Sarcoma Awareness Month this July! By sharing photos and content, you helped raise awareness of sarcomas, like EHE. Wear Yellow Wednesday, EHE T-Shirt Tuesday, and Sunflower Sunday were just a few of the ways our community showed up and spread the word about […]
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 […]
