Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy in selected T4a glottic cancer (thyroid cartilage invasion adherence to the anterior commissure) treated with frontolateral vertical partial laryngectomy (FLVPL) and laryngeal framework reconstruction using titanium mesh.
Methods: Six patients with the limited T4a glottic cancer with thyroid cartilage destruction adherence to the anterior commissure, underwent FLVPL from 2009 to 2016 in Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center. All patients were followed up postoperatively.
Results: All patients comprised radical tumor resection and favorable functional outcomes, and no aspiration and laryngeal stenosis were observed. According to postoperative pathology, four patients should go through postsurgical radiotherapy with a mean dose of 66 Gy. But one of them refused to undergo postoperative radiotherapy, who observed local recurrence in postcricoid area underwent total laryngectomy (TL) and ipsilateral selected neck dissection in post-surgery two year. During follow-up period, all patients were still alive, and five patients without local recurrence and distant metastases.
Conclusion: FLVPL and laryngeal framework reconstruction using titanium mesh is one viable surgical procedure to obtain adequate oncologic and functional outcomes.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze resectable T3-T4a glottic cancer patients treated with TOLM at a tertiary hospital, evaluating survival, function, and QoL in organ-preserved cases.
Methods: Patients with diagnosis of laryngeal glottic squamous cell carcinoma pT3-pT4a N < 3 M0 treated with primary curative intention TOLM from 2005 to 2021 were included. Statistical analysis was performed, including survival rates.

Objective: The objective of this study is to provide a retrospective review of the 40-year experience of three oncology referral centers in the field of reconstructive laryngeal surgery.
Materials And Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective analysis included adult patients who underwent reconstructive laryngeal surgery for cT2-T4a laryngeal cancer (LC) between 1 June 1987 and 1 July 2019. Patients were stratified according to the European Laryngological Society classification for open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL).

Objective: Accurate staging of advanced laryngeal cancer is important, as treatment can vary significantly between larynx preservation and total laryngectomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing features of T4a disease in locally advanced laryngeal cancer and determine if primary site played a role in the accuracy of MRI in this setting.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing a total laryngectomy in a tertiary referral center for head and neck cancer over a 10-year time period was carried out.

Objective: To critically evaluate oncological and functional outcomes following transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) in patients with T3/T4a glottic and supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Data Sources: A comprehensive search of five major databases-PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science-was conducted using a combination of relevant keywords and MeSH terms.
Review Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis of odds ratio (OR), hazards ratio (HR), and proportion, focusing on oncological and functional outcomes of TLM in advanced T3/T4a glottic and supraglottic tumors.

Objectives: Vocal cord fixation is one of the main upstaging features of laryngeal cancer. In our previously conducted retrospective study, vocal cord (VC) mobility restoration after chemoradiotherapy was a favorable prognostic variable. In this prospective study, we examined the significance of VC mobility restoration after definitive treatment as a prognostic variable.
