| Core Tip |
A retrospective multicentric study was performed enrolling 77 patients with ≥ 70 years of age and a single hepatocellular carcinoma (≤ 30 mm), located in the posterosuperior segments (4a, 7, 8). Patients were divided into two groups: liver resection and radiofrequency ablation. Peri-operative and long-term outcomes were analyzed and compared using a 1:1 propensity score matching. The study results show that radiofrequency ablation in posterosuperior segments in elderly patients is safe and feasible and ensures a short hospital stay, reduces overall postoperative complications, increases the quality of life and does not modify the overall and disease-free survival. |
