Treatment will depend on whether the tumor is a mature or immature teratoma. If the tumor is a mature teratoma, the treatment will be surgery to remove the tumor and possibly some of the surrounding tissues or structures. If the tumor is an immature teratoma, treatment will be surgery with or without chemotherapy.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with childhood teratoma.
