from Jules: look at Figure 2 just below - treating very early - at F0-1 provides the best outcome for patients - it reduces risk MUCH MORE compared to treating at F2/3 - almost eliminates & reduces risk by 3-4 fold DCC [liver decompensation] , HCC [liver cancer] and LrD [liver related death]. When comparing treating at F0/1 versus F-4 risks are reduced 7- to 20-fold !!!!
