Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the curative effect of hepatic for elderly patients with primary resection liver cancer (PLC).

Methods

1711 patients with PLC received hepatic resection in the Cancer Center of Sun Yat-Sen University. Forty-three elderly patients (≥70 years of age) with PLC and 57 patients in control group selected randomly from 1668 patients (<70 years of age) with PLC treated in the same period were studied retrospectively, The clinicopathological and laboratory data of the 100 patients were analyzed.

Results

The elderly PLC patients had lower HBsAg-positive rate and AFP-positive rate,more complications before operation,higher rate of tumor capsule formation and higher 1-year post-operation survival rate; while there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in other factors(including sex ratio, positive symptom, HCV-positive rate, liver function, renal function, accompanying cirrhosis, satellite lesions, tumor rupture, blood loss, resection rate, post operation complication and diseasefree survival rate).

Conclusion

Hepatic resection for elderly patients with PLC has a similar curative effect compared with control group. For the elderly patients without complications or with controlled complications,hepatic resection is a safe and effective treatment.
