Whether pleural effusion right lung occupation is serious or not needs to be distinguished according to the nature of the occupation, if it is benign occupation, it is usually not serious, if it is malignant occupation, it is more serious.
In the presence of pleural effusion right lung occupation, it is necessary to withdraw the pleural effusion in time, and follow the doctor’s instructions for chest CT, fiberoptic bronchoscopy biopsy, percutaneous lung puncture biopsy and other tests to clarify the specific nature of the occupation.
If no cancer cells are found in the effusion and biopsy, the possibility of benign occupation is higher, and the condition is relatively mild at this time. The causes of pleural effusion, such as tuberculosis, hypoproteinemia, heart failure, etc., need to be further clarified, and the primary causes of pleural effusion should be actively treated; for the right lung occupation, surgical resection and other treatments can be adopted if necessary.
If the effusion and biopsy find cancer cells, the occupying position is considered as lung cancer or lung metastatic cancer, and the pleural effusion is cancerous effusion, which is a more serious situation. At this time, radiotherapy, surgery and targeted therapy should be chosen according to the specific condition of the patient to control the disease progression and prolong the patient’s life.
It is recommended that patients with pleural effusion with right lung occupancy should seek medical examination in time to clarify the cause of the disease and treat the cause and symptoms.
