Abstract
We report a case of a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who has two unusual features. The patient was 95 years old at the time of diagnosis and his excellent response to treatment. The authors briefly review the age distribution of HCC and the treatments used. We concluded that therapy should not be arbitrarily withheld based solely on chronological age. Older cancer patients deserve the right to be treated if they so wish.Entities:
