Glottic cancer of the free margin and ventricular surface of vocal cord

[摘要] The authors differentiate cancer types of the glottis setting out from the free margin or the ventricular surface of the true vocal cord. The latter is considered to be a reliant clinicopathological unit starting from the dividing line of the stratified-ciliated epithelium margins, whereas the so called junctional tumor differs in its histogenesis and invasivity. They give a detailed description of intralaryngeal extension of these tumours on the basis of histopathological investigations.
