Investigational status

Pulled this from the article:

[quote] It is no longer considered an experimental cancer therapy.^[1]^[2]

The NCCN guidelines on colon cancer as of version 3.2014 still consider HIPEC to be investigational. http://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/pdf/colon.pdf MS-43.

@Stephjaelee: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:52, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Or to Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with link from HIPEC? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:52, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely not in that overcapitalize form, per MOS:CAPS and WP:NCCAPS, and we do not include acronyms with what they stand for in titles. Please review the WP:Article titles policy.
Support corrected suggestion, Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 16:19, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
