The treatment of fetus in fetu is operative to relieve obstruction, prevent further compression and possible complications.
Surgical removal revealed that the anencephalic fetus have limb buds situated relative to a palpable vertebral column, supporting the diagnosis of fetus in fetu.
In addition, delivery before 32 weeks of gestation should be avoided because of fetus immaturity.
The fetal/placental ratio is an important indicator of fetus later life.
The followings are highlights of comparison in the growth features of fetus and those of cancer cells.
The kidney of fetus is a small bean-shaped differentiated into two regions: an outer cortex and an inner medulla.
The developing organ systems of fetus are not subject to external (environmental) challenges that could be harmful to its survival.
It is hypothesized that the growth of fetus and cancerous cells shares additional characteristics with regard to defective mitochondrial function.
They reject the perspective of thinking of fetus and mother as distinct persons and emphasize their intertwined relationship.
In the environmentally protected space of fetus growth, there is little need for high energy demands from the mitochondria required for the Yin (tumoricidal) arm of acute inflammation.
Therefore, absence of effective immunity provides a similar growth condition for promotion of growth of the cancerous cells, a situation that is comparable to orderly growth of fetus.
