Surgery or ablation: Currently, liver cancer can only be cured by surgical removal of the tumor, or by removing the entire liver and performing a liver transplantation. Patients with early stage cancer (small tumor) can sometimes be cured by ablation - a procedure where a probe is placed into the center of the tumor and energy is used to destroy the tumor.
