Well...I suppose there is always the chance that cancer can come back, but immature teratoma tends to be highly "curable". Often times when immature teratoma is diagnosed in low stages and grades and surgery to remove the tumor is performed a "wait and see" approach is used. Then if in fact the cancer returns, chemotherapy is then administered. I hope this helps you out some.
Take Care and God Bless,
