Canonicity of cancer and alien embryo removal

This was written in reply to a thread under a YouTube video concerning the Alien franchise, which discussed the possibilities of alien embryo removal.

The canonicity of the embryo being cancerous is up for debate: The movies never mention cancer, but it's possibe, that early on in the gestation process, the embryo works like a cancer to avoid early removal.

Only after the embryo has developed well enough to have formed a placenta around itself, would it be possible to remove it, _with_ the placenta.

The removal must be not just quick, but also clean and careful.

Because the trouble with trilobite removal from Shaw is, that right after the trilobite placenta was removed, the trilobite expanded and broke the placenta, out of which the fluid that the trilobite was in, squirted right back into Shaw's open abdomen, thus (in my view) infecting her. I expect to see a continuation of that situation in "Alien: Covenant".

High care must also be taken wrt the umbilical cord: Once broken, the creature becomes conscious and begins to move.
