What is the Prognosis for Patients with Cirrhosis and Liver Cancer?
The prognosis for patients with cirrhosis depends on the stage of the disease and the presence of complications. Early-stage cirrhosis can often be managed effectively, allowing patients to lead relatively normal lives. However, the prognosis worsens with advanced cirrhosis and the development of liver cancer. Early detection and treatment of liver cancer can improve survival rates, but advanced-stage HCC often has a poor prognosis.
