(T) Primary Tumor

TX

Primary tumor cannot be assessed

T0

No evidence of primary tumor

Tis

Carcinoma in situ

Supraglottis

 

T1

Tumor limited to 1 subsite of supraglottis with normal vocal cord mobility

T2

Tumor invades mucosa of > 1 adjacent subsite of supraglottis or glottis or region outside the supraglottis (e.g., mucosa of base of tongue, vallecula, medial wall of pyriform sinus) without fixation of the larynx

T3

Tumor limited to larynx with vocal cord fixation &/or invades any of the following: Postcricoid area, preepiglottic space, paraglottic space, &/or inner cortex of thyroid cartilage

T4a

Moderately advanced local disease: Tumor invades through the thyroid cartilage &/or invades tissues beyond the larynx (e.g., trachea, soft tissues of neck including deep extrinsic muscle of the tongue, strap muscles, thyroid, or esophagus)

T4b

Very advanced local disease: Tumor invades prevertebral space, encases carotid artery, or invades mediastinal structures

Glottis

 

T1

Tumor limited to the vocal cord(s) (may involve anterior or posterior commissure) with normal mobility

T1a

Tumor limited to 1 vocal cord

T1b

Tumor involves both vocal cords

T2

Tumor extends to supraglottis &/or subglottis, &/or with impaired vocal cord mobility

T3

Tumor limited to the larynx with vocal cord fixation &/or invasion of paraglottic space, &/or inner cortex of the thyroid cartilage

T4a

Moderately advanced local disease: Tumor invades through the outer cortex of the thyroid cartilage &/or invades tissues beyond the larynx (e.g., trachea, soft tissues of neck including deep extrinsic muscle of the tongue, strap muscles, thyroid, or esophagus)

T4b

Very advanced local disease: Tumor invades prevertebral space, encases carotid artery, or invades mediastinal structures

Subglottis

 

T1

Tumor limited to the subglottis

T2

Tumor extends to vocal cord(s) with normal or impaired mobility

T3

Tumor limited to larynx with vocal cord fixation

T4a

Moderately advanced local disease: Tumor invades cricoid or thyroid cartilage &/or invades tissues beyond the larynx (e.g., trachea, soft tissues of neck including deep extrinsic muscles of the tongue, strap muscles, thyroid, or esophagus)

T4b

Very advanced local disease: Tumor invades prevertebral space, encases carotid artery, or invades mediastinal structures

Χαρακτηριστικά Επέκτασης

Direct extension

  • Supraglottic carcinoma
    • Can invade deep laryngeal tissues, such as preepiglottic and paraglottic spaces
    • Upstages to T3 disease
    • Can extend inferiorly toward glottis and subglottis
    • Lymph node spread common (level II)
  • Glottic carcinoma
    • Typically spreads horizontally across free margin of vocal cord in direction of anterior commissure
    • Anatomic structures of glottis typically pose barrier to spread
    • Tendon of anterior commissure prevents extension to opposite vocal cord
    • In diseases of later stage, malignancy may eventually cross midline
    • Cord fixation may result after eventual invasion of underlying thyroarytenoid muscle
    • Extension into subglottis may occur by invasion through conus elasticus
  • Subglottic carcinoma
    • Spreads anteriorly into thyroid gland through cricothyroid membrane
    • Spreads posteriorly to Cricoid cartilage, Esophagus
    • Spreads cephalad to True vocal cords, Supraglottis
    • Spreads inferiorly to Tracheal lumen, Cartilaginous rings

Lymphatic spread

  • Uncommon in early stage glottic and subglottic disease
  • After fixation of vocal cords or extension into subglottis, cervical and paratracheal nodal involvement becomes more frequent

Distant metastasis

  • Common sites overall include: Lung, Liver, Diaphragm/pleura
