Talk:Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy

Latest comment: 7 years ago by Jenks24 in topic Requested move 22 May 2016

Merge proposal edit

should be combined with larger article Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) since HIPEC is more commonly used term. (Perform google search and literature search to confirm)


  • "Intraperitoneal Hyperthermic Chemotherapy" (IPHC) 5,500 results
  • "Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy" (HIPEC) 50,000 results
  • "Intraoperative Chemohyperthermic Peritoneal Perfusion" (CHPP) 492 results
  • "Intraperitoneal Hyperthermic Chemoperfusion" (IHCP) 15,900 results

all refer to the same procedure. search results results returned from google search with the search term placed in parentheses so that only exact phrase is matched. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.232.10 (talk) 23:46, 3 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Investigational status edit

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.
