Core Tip The number of elderly patients with cancer is expected to rise in the next future, and facing with elderly cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) will characterize liver oncology scenario in the near future. International guidelines do not specifically address how to approach HCC in aged patients and no recommendations are available on age threshold to which clinical decisions should refer. Available data seem to rule out an intrinsic negative impact of age itself on HCC prognosis, and treatment allocation should be decided mainly according to HCC stage, liver residual function and general conditions. Indeed, a nihilistic attitude to restrict treatment in this population is not longer justified.
