Inoue Y, et al. - Researchers performed a retrospective analysis of 530 patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with respect to their preoperative status and perioperative results, including remnant liver regeneration and compared an elderly group (aged 80 or older) with a non-elderly group (aged less than 80 years). Findings suggest that among patients with HCC aged 80 and older, safe, radical hepatectomy, similar to procedures performed on non-elderly patients, can be performed with sufficient perioperative care.
