Key Words Hepatocellular carcinoma; Hepatectomy; Elderly
Core Tip The number of elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been increasing. Careful patient selection is vital for performing hepatectomy safely in elderly HCC patients. Treatment strategy should be decided by not only considering tumor stage and hepatic functional reserve, but also physiological status, including comorbid disease. Both short-term and long-term results after hepatectomy for strictly selected elderly HCC patients are almost the same as those for younger patients. However, considering physiological characteristics and the high prevalence of comorbid disease in elderly patients, it is important to assess patients more meticulously if scheduled to undergo major hepatectomy.
