Problem with some content

Here is the content that bothers me the most: "Another use is the treatment of infection and cancers by the use of heat. Cancer cells and many bacteria have poor mechanisms for adapting to and resisting the physiological stresses of heat, and are more vulnerable to heat-induced death than normal cells.[citation needed]"

Instead of just putting a [citation needed], can't it just be deleted until a proper reference is found?

The request for citation is dated 2011. If you think the content is controversial it can be deleted.--Auró (talk) 22:21, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
