Abstract
Liver resection is the only cure-oriented strategy for colorectal liver metastases, even in elderly patients. In the literature, there are no significant differences in overall survival and disease-free survivals between the elderly and the younger patients, who underwent liver resection, immediately or after preoperative chemotherapy. Morbidity and mortality rates are slightly increased in the elderly. Careful preoperative evaluation and postoperative monitoring is essential to improve patients’ survival. Patient selection should be discussed on a case-by-case basis by a multidisciplinary team. Older age is not a contraindication for liver resection.
