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 […]
The EHE Foundation is proud to announce $335,000 in funding through the 2026 EHE Foundation Research Grants Program to support two innovative research projects in epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE). Selected for their scientific merit, potential impact, and clinical relevance, these projects address two important priorities in EHE research: biomarker development and new therapeutic approaches. Together, they […]
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) […]
A project funded by the EHE Foundation, the EHE Rare Cancer Charity (UK), and the EHE Rare Cancer Foundation Australia, and led by Dr. Ryan Kanai in the Lamar Lab, was recently published in Cancers, revealing a surprising new role for AMPK in controlling the growth of EHE cells. Dr. Kanai set out to find […]
We are thrilled to share a new publication that includes participation of EHE advocacy organizations: “How to foster new treatment development in ultra-rare tumours? Joint EMA-EORTC multi-stakeholder workshops on ultra-rare sarcomas as a model for rare cancers.” Leaders of the EHE Rare Cancer Charity (UK), the EHE Foundation, and EHE ITALIA Associazione Non Solo Laura […]
In 2022, the EHE Foundation funded the Lamar Lab’s project entitled ‘Use of Pre-clinical EHE Models to Identify Druggable Pathways to Treat EHE,’ with the goal of identifying FDA-approved drugs that can be repurposed to treat EHE. By looking for drugs that are already FDA-approved, ideally, positive pre-clinical findings could be more rapidly translated to […]
