Early-stage liver cirrhosis cannot be cured through surgical resection. Patients with early-stage liver cirrhosis need to clearly identify the cause of the cirrhosis if they wish to be cured. For instance, if the cirrhosis is due to alcohol, it requires actively quitting drinking. If the cirrhosis is caused by viral hepatitis, then active antiviral treatment is necessary for these early-stage patients. To cure the disease, it is essential to actively protect the liver and treat the underlying cause. If a patient with early-stage liver cirrhosis shows signs of liver cancer, then surgical treatment should be undertaken to remove the lesions as soon as possible.
