| Abstract | AIM: Considering the dramatic increase in average life expectancy during the 20th century throughout the world, the management of elderly patients with cancer has become a global issue. We herein investigated the clinical characteristics and outcomes of super-elderly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients over 80 years old not indicated for surgical resection. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 206 newly diagnosed HCC patients. The patients were divided into two groups according to their age at inclusion; a super-elderly group (n = 37, ≥80 years) and a younger group (n = 169, <80 years). We compared the clinical characteristics, overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) rates among the two groups. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the factors associated with the OS and DSS. RESULTS: The proportion of women was higher in the super-elderly group than in the younger group (P = 0.017). There were no significant differences in the OS (P = 0.171) or DSS (P = 0.176) between the two groups. The multivariate analysis revealed that only the Cancer Liver Italian Program score (hazard ratio [HR], 2.972; P < 0.0001; HR, 3.694; P < 0.0001) was independently associated with the OS and DSS. Age was not found to be associated with the OS or DSS according to either the univariate or multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in the OS and DSS rates among the super-elderly HCC patients and younger HCC patients not indicated for surgical resection. An advanced age itself does not restrict the therapeutic approach, even in super-elderly HCC patients not indicated for surgical resection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
