Abstract
In this issue of Science Translational Medicine, Tanas and colleagues describe a disease-defining genetic alteration for the vascular cancer epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE). The resulting EHE-associated fusion gene encodes an aberrantly expressed putative transcription factor. This molecular information is the latest in a series of genetic discoveries that aid in cancer diagnosis and may pave the way to targeted therapeutic agents.Entities:
