What is the Prognosis for Patients with Immature Teratomas?
The prognosis for patients with immature teratomas depends largely on the tumor's grade and stage at diagnosis. Lower-grade, localized tumors have a favorable prognosis with high survival rates following complete surgical excision. However, higher-grade tumors or those that have metastasized have a poorer prognosis and may require aggressive treatment. Regular follow-up and monitoring are crucial to detect any recurrence early.
