Table 2. Comparison of the response to curative treatments in the elderly and young patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA).

Treatment	Tumor	Findings	Ref.
Liver resection	HCC	Comparable effectiveness and safety Longer hospitalization and rehabilitation	[98–100]
	iCCA	Low mortality Severe complications when ≤45% remnant liver	[101]
Liver transplant	HCC	Acceptable long-term survival Controversial results in high-risk patients	[103, 104, 107]
	iCCA	Similar 5-year survival when tumor size ≤2 cm	[108]
Radiofrequency ablation	HCC	Comparable effectiveness and safety	[109, 110]
	iCCA	Comparable effectiveness in iCCA	[111]
Microwave ablation	HCC	Comparable effectiveness and safety in patients >65	[112]
	iCCA	Good survival and safety in iCCA patients when tumor size ≤2 cm	[113]
