Why the patient of pleural effusion should lie towards the side of the lung which is having pleural effusion?
Positioning the patient with pleural effusion on the affected side helps improve ventilation and blood flow to the more functional lung, aiding in better oxygenation. This position can also help re-expand the collapsed lung and promote drainage of the pleural effusion.
When did lung cancer first occur?

Is possible doctor diagnosed lung cancer and later found it is not lung cancer?
A mis-diagnosis is always possible. It all depends on how many tests the doctor has performed and how accurate they are.

An exception would be if he did not see something that would make the disorder other than lung cancer.

What is Malignant pleural effusion?
Malignant pleural effusion is the accumulation of fluid in the pleural space (the cavity between the lungs and the chest wall) due to cancer. This condition often arises from cancers such as lung, breast, or ovarian cancer, where tumor cells invade the pleura or cause increased fluid production. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, chest pain, and cough. Treatment typically involves draining the fluid and managing the underlying cancer.

DefinitionParapneumonic pulmonary effusion is an build up of fluid between layers of the tissue lining the lung and the chest cavity, which develops in the setting of pneumonia.
Does fluid on the lungs mean cancer?
Fluid on the lungs, also known as pleural effusion, can have various causes, and cancer is one of them. However, pleural effusion can also result from other conditions such as heart failure, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, liver disease, or kidney disease. In some cases, cancer that has spread to the lungs or nearby structures can cause pleural effusion. This can occur with lung cancer, breast cancer, lymphoma, or other cancers. When cancer cells spread to the pleura (the thin lining around the lungs), they can cause inflammation and fluid accumulation. However, not all cases of pleural effusion are due to cancer. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation if you experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or coughing up blood, as these can indicate various underlying conditions, including cancer. Imaging tests such as chest X-rays or CT scans, along with other diagnostic procedures, may be necessary to determine the cause of pleural effusion accurately.
