What is the science behind injection of human placenta extract for treatment for cancer? Japan does this now.

What is the science behind injection of human placenta extract for treatment for cancer? Japan does this now.
I would like to know more about the injection of human placenta extract as treatment to slow cancer. I have heard that respected Japanese hospitals are using this along with traditional chemotherapy type treatments. Something to do with Placenta's link to stem cells. Any further knowledge?

You can look any type of legitimate studies up on Entrez Pubmed. I believe they include worldwide publications. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=PubMed You should be cautious about what you locate on the Internet as their appears to be some type of scam or quackary claims being made about a human placenta extract. Any legit studies like this would be done in Clinical Trials first and would never just pop up on the Internet. So if it has never been in research or Clinical Trials than it probably is not true. (Japan also has Clinical Trials similar to the US called Japan Multinational Trial Organization). J-east Library http://sciencelinks.jp/j-east/about/
