T2 vocal cord Ca
Hello
I saw a patient with a quite large T2 vocal cord SCC with subglottic expansion but no supraglottic invasion.
The subglottic expansion is more or less the tumor "hanging" from the vocal cord into the subglottic space, there was no clear invasion described in the panendoscopy report. The tumor grows all the way to the anterior commisure, does not cross to the other side though. The arytenoid cartilage is reached but no involved.
CT staging is N0.
Would you electively treat lymphatics...
