The number of elderly patients with HCC who undergo liver resection is increasing. Because of the advanced age of the patients, increased postoperative morbidity and reduced overall survival are expected in this population. The study aim was to compare clinicopathologic and operative features, short- and long-term outcomes among hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients from three age groups undergoing potentially curative liver resection in a developing country.
