Table 1. Baseline characteristics of elderly patients with PHCC who underwent hepatectomy.
Abstract
Introduction

As the population ages, surgeons are growing frequently faced with hard choices among a vast array of treatment options for the elderly. This study was to investigate safety and efficacy of resection in elderly patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC).

Patients and methods

Literature reading and meta-analysis unveiled that elderly PHCC patients held a higher risk of death within 90 days after hepatectomy relative to younger patients, but their 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival were comparable. Among PHCC patients who underwent hepatectomy, the proportion of elderly patients with tumor classification Bismuth I–II and tumor stage pStage 1–3 was significantly higher than that of younger patients.

Results

Curative resection R0 was more common in elderly patients than younger patients, but the difference was not statistically significant. Because of more comorbidities and less physiological reserve of elderly patients, they seemed to suffer more postoperative complications.

Conclusion

Considering improved life expectancy, it is crucial to treat elderly PHCC patients appropriately and attempts should be made to radical surgery based on comorbidities and functional status.

Resumen
Introducción

A medida que la población envejece, los cirujanos a menudo se enfrentan a opciones difíciles entre los muchos programas de tratamiento que ofrecen a los ancianos. El objetivo de este estudio es explorar la seguridad y la eficacia de la extirpación del colangiocarcinoma perihiliar (PHCC, por sus siglas en inglés) en los pacientes ancianos.

Pacientes y métodos

La lectura de la literatura y el metaanálisis muestran que los pacientes ancianos con PHCC tienen un mayor riesgo de muerte a los 90 días posteriores a la hepatectomía que los pacientes jóvenes, pero su supervivencia total a 5 años y su supervivencia libre de enfermedad son comparables. Entre los pacientes con PHCC que se sometieron a una hepatectomía, el porcentaje de pacientes mayores con clasificación tumoral de bismuto I-II y con estadificación tumoral de pStage 1-3 fue significativamente mayor que el de pacientes jóvenes.

Resultados

La extirpación terapéutica R0 es más común en los pacientes mayores que en los pacientes jóvenes, pero la diferencia no es estadísticamente significativa. Debido a que los pacientes ancianos tienen más comorbilidades, menos reservas fisiológicas y más complicaciones postoperatorias.

Conclusión

Teniendo en cuenta el aumento de la esperanza de vida, el tratamiento adecuado de los pacientes ancianos con PHCC es crucial, y la cirugía radical debe intentarse de acuerdo con las comorbilidades y el estado funcional.
