Glottic laryngeal carcinoma
The glottis comprises the vocal cords and the anterior and posterior commissures. Tumours in this region account for about 60% of all laryngeal carcinoma.
- glottic cancer has the most favourable prognosis of all forms of laryngeal cancer, as people tend to seek medical advice for chronic hoarseness, which is the most common early symptom
- other symptoms of laryngeal cancer may include pain or problems with swallowing (dysphagia). There can also be a lump in the neck, sore throat, earache, or a persistent cough
