It certainly isn't but only on the basis of outcomes, not in terms of process.
Both fetal development and cancer demonstrate similar accelerated cell division
and coincident development of support structures such as blood vessels, nerves,
etc.  The only difference is the diferentiation and organization associated with
fetal development.  You may consider it pathetic, but it is medically accurate.
