Pulmonary hypertension is a condition in which pressure increases, affecting the blood vessels of the lungs and right heart. As the disease progresses, it gradually threatens the patient's life. Proper treatment can help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.

In some diseases related to lung lesions, especially lung tumors, taking specimens plays an important role in determining the nature and type of lesions. Since then, thoracotomy for exploration and transthoracic biopsy have been born and have achieved significant successes in diagnosis.

Pleural effusion is the accumulation of too much fluid in the lung or between the lung and the chest, causing pressure on the lung, making it difficult for the patient to breathe. One of the effective solutions to treat pleural effusion is thoracotomy.

CT-guided lung/pleural biopsy is a minimally invasive technique that is safe and provides highly accurate diagnostic results. This technique is often indicated when the patient is suspected of having a tumor, inflammation, or tuberculosis in the lung, pleura, and mediastinum.

Cancer can start anywhere in the body. Cancer that starts in the lungs is called lung cancer. It begins when cells in the lungs grow out of control and crowd out normal cells.

Lung cancer is a dangerous disease with a high mortality rate. However, if the disease is diagnosed and treated early, the prognosis is quite good. Currently, there are many methods to diagnose lung cancer such as computed tomography, PET, brain MRI/CT, biopsy, endobronchial ultrasound. Treatment options depend on the severity of the disease, including surgery, radiotherapy and systemic therapy or a combination of methods.

Lung biopsies can be performed either closed or open. The closed method is to perform the technique through the skin or through the trachea. Open biopsies are performed in the operating room, after the patient has been anesthetized.

Based on how the cancer cells look under the microscope, the doctor divides them into 2 types of lung cancer, which are small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. If you think you have symptoms of lung cancer, see your health care provider. Your doctor will diagnose lung cancer using the following methods.

Usually, signs of lung cancer do not appear until the disease is in an advanced stage. Even when lung cancer causes symptoms, many people can mistake them for other problems, such as an infection or long-term effects from smoking. Therefore, screening will help reduce the risk of dying from lung cancer.
