Prognosis and Outcomes in Early Stage Glottic Carcinoma Involving the Anterior Commissure Treated with Laser CO Surgery: A Retrospective Observational Analysis.

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.
