What can I expect if I have angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma?

If you or your child has been diagnosed with AFH, your healthcare provider will discuss your options with you in detail. If the tumor hasn’t spread, then surgery will likely be the suggested treatment. In the majority of cases, there isn’t a recurrence (return) following surgical removal of the tumor.

If the tumor has spread beyond the point of origin to distant areas of your body, then chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be recommended. This requires multiple appointments and follow-ups to monitor your progress.
