Article Synopsis
- The human placenta is a specialized organ that behaves like a tumor, invading the uterus to supply the fetus with nutrients while also raising questions about its similarities and differences with cancer.
- The review examines how tethered placental invasiveness is essential for fetal growth and analyzes how abnormal invasiveness can affect the health of both the fetus and the mother.
- It also explores the potential for tumor biology to gain insights from placental research, highlighting unique aspects of trophoblastic neoplasias and offering considerations for future research.
