202 Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant source of morbidity and mortality amongst the elderly population. In appropriately selected patients, surgery is known to confer a survival advantage. Octagenarians, however, given their remaining life expectancy may receive limited benefit from surgery. Nevertheless, insufficient information is available in the literature on the survival benefit of surgery in octagenarians with HCC. Methods: Octogenarians with HCC were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 1998 and 2009. We evaluated patients who underwent surgical resection and those that declined to assess the impact surgery has on overall survival in this population. Results: A total of 8,614 with HCC were identified in the SEER database, of which surgery was recommended for 3,529 (41%). A total of 1,002 patients (28%) underwent surgery and 2,497 (71%) declined. Although there was a trend towards improved survival in the surgery group (7.91 months) vs the non-surgical group (7.03 months), there was no statistically significant difference in survival between the two groups (p = 0.09). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that octagenarians as a whole do not experience a survival benefit from surgical resection for HCC. Subgroup analysis, however, may ultimately identify benefit in specific disease stages or patients with fewer comorbidities.
