Researcher from Regional Cancer Center Reports Details of New Studies and Findings in the Area of Glottic Cancer (Impact of Anterior Commissure Involvement and Frozen Guided Resections on Oncological Outcomes after Laser Cordectomy in Early...).

A recent study conducted in India examined the treatment options for early glottic cancer, specifically focusing on transoral laser microsurgery (TLM). The study found that TLM is a safe and effective treatment for early glottic carcinoma, with comparable oncological benefits to open partial laryngectomy (OPL) and radiation therapy (RT). The study also highlighted the importance of considering anterior commissure involvement (ACI) and frozen margin positivity as negative predictive factors. The findings suggest that ACI should be taken into account when staging glottic tumors and that vigilant follow-up is necessary for patients with frozen margin positivity. [Extracted from the article]
