AB During  pregnancy,  the  placenta  provides  the  indispensable  interface  between  mother  and  fetus  (Chap.  5,  p.  86).  However,  in  part  due  to  inaccessibility  throughout  gestation,  the  placenta’s  anatomy,  physiology,  and  molecular  structure  still  remain  some  of  the  most  understudied  and  intriguing  topics  in  obstetrics.  Furthermore,  the  parallels  between  placental  formation  and  cancer  afford  opportunities  to  understand  tumor  biology  and  pathogenesis  (Costanzo,  2018;  Guttmacher,  2014).
