Anterior commissure (AC) carcinoma is in close proximity to the thyroid cartilage. Our objective was to evaluate risk factors for thyroid cartilage invasion.

TLDR
Cartilage invasion which determines T stage in laryngeal cancer can be detected in 26-75% of the patients and if not detected preoperatively, may cause errors in staging in 40-50% ofThe patients.
The prognostic value of anterior commissure involvement in T1 glottic cancer: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
TLDR
The anterior commissure is considered a laryngeal subsite, but it is not taken into account in the current T‐staging system, and the influence of ACI in the prognosis of T1 glottic tumors is assessed.
Morphological Evaluation of Thyroid Cartilage Invasion in Early Glottic Tumors Involving the Anterior Commissure
TLDR
The infiltration of thyroid cartilage occurred in 8.3% of tumors and did not change the outcome in patients submitted to frontolateral laryngectomy, and the morphological characteristics did not present any statistical significance.

Application of a thyroid cartilage window technique for transoral resection of early glottic cancer involving the anterior commissure
TLDR
TCW technique is a valuable means for transoral resection of early glottic laryngeal cancer involving the anterior commissure, with acceptable voice quality and seemingly low comorbidities.
Transoral laser microsurgery for early glottic cancer as one‐stage single‐modality therapy
A study was undertaken to determine the oncologic outcomes in a consecutive series of early glottic carcinomas treated with transoral CO2 laser microsurgery (TLM) as a one‐stage single‐modality
Adverse histopathological findings in glottic cancer with anterior commissure involvement
TLDR
In 22/254 cases including the cartilage into the operating specimen were therapeutically meaningful; in 16/254 with prelaryngeal metastases, the impact for larynx preservation and overall survival was significant, ensuring the authors, that OPHL type II is not the “overtreatment” compared to the TLM.
Computed Tomography Appearance of Normal Nonossified Thyroid Cartilage: Implication for Tumor Invasion Diagnosis
TLDR
Nonossified thyroid cartilage has a homogeneous appearance on contrast-enhanced CT scans, but showed some normal variations that could be mistakenly reported as tumor invasion.

Early glottic cancer can be cured with transoral laser resection, but in cases with anterior commissure involvement, there is still controversy concerning the best treatment modality.
Impact of Anterior Commissure Involvement on Local Control of Early Glottic Carcinoma Treated by Laser Microresection
TLDR

Primary treatment of the anterior vocal commissure squamous carcinoma
TLDR
Future reporting of patients treated with AC involvement should be staged radiologically, to include CT or MRI, and documentation of the treatment results be reported in subgroups, according to whether there is no cartilage involvement, inner-table cartilage erosion, or through-and-through cartilage invasion.
Transoral Laser Microresection for Cancer of the Larynx Involving the Anterior Commissure
TLDR

TLDR

Carcinoma of the Anterior Commissure of the Larynx: II. Proposal of a New Staging System
TLDR
It is suggested that TNM classification of cancer involving the AC be implemented by an AC classification, in order to better forecast the prognosis and design specific conservative surgery.
Glottic cancer involving anterior commissure: Surgery vs radiotherapy
TLDR
The data suggest that the treatment of choice for AC cancers is conservation surgery, particularly frontolateral laryngectomy, rather than radiotherapy, particularly radiotherapy recurrences.
Carcinoma of the Anterior Commissure of the Larynx: I. Embryological and Anatomic Considerations
TLDR
An independent anterior commissure region in the adult larynx is identified, which comprises the intermediate lamina, Broyles' ligament, the connective tissue between the Broyle' and conoid ligaments, and the insertion fibers of the vocal muscles, which can explain the peculiar progression pathways and evolution of commissural and cordo-commissural tumors.
