3. TX Primary tumor cannot be assessed.
Tis Carcinoma in situ.
T1
Tumor limited to 1 subsite of supraglottis.
Normal vocal cord mobility.
T2
Tumor invades mucosa of >1 adjacent subsite of supraglottis/ glottis/ beyond
supraglottis (mucosa of tongue base, vallecula, medial wall of pyriform sinus).
Normal vocal cord mobility.
T3
Tumor limited to larynx and/or invades: postcricoid area, preglottic space,
inner cortex of thyroid cartilage.
Vocal cords fixed.
T4
T4a: Moderately Advanced local disease.
T4b: Very advanced local disease.
T4a
Tumor involving outer cortex of thyroid cartilage and/or tissues beyond
larynx (trachea, soft tissues of neck, deep extrinsic muscle of tongue, strap
muscles, thyroid, esophagus).
T4b
Tumor invading prevertebral space, encasing carotid artery/ mediastinal
structures.
