The anterior commissure (AC) is the area where the vocal cords attach to the thyroid cartilage through Broyles' ligament. Many authors argue that involvement of the anterior commissure in early stage glottic carcinoma (I, II) constitutes a risk factor for local recurrence. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether anterior commissure involvement in early stage glottis cancer is an independent risk factor for recurrence and mortality.

- The study evaluates the financial implications of treating early-stage glottic squamous cell carcinoma and compares costs of three treatments: CO2 laser surgery, radiotherapy, and laryngofissure cordectomy.
- A total of 56 patients were analyzed, revealing that CO2 laser cordectomy costs an average of €2,289.79, significantly less than radiotherapy (€4,804.72) and laryngofissure cordectomy (€13,229.75).
- Findings indicate that transoral CO2 laser surgery is the most cost-effective treatment option for T1-2, N0, M0 glottic cancer patients.
