Abstract

LETTERS n their article comparing MR imaging and dual-energy CT for sented in this article, Fig 1, shows a case in which there is no Ithe evaluation of cartilage invasion by laryngeal carcinoma, the suggestion of extralaryngeal spread on either MR imaging or dual- authors correctly stated in their introduction that the diagnosis of energy CT. Much has been written on imaging of cartilage extension T4a disease—that is, tumor invading not just into but beyond the in laryngeal cancer, little of which, in my opinion, has bearing on laryngeal cartilage and into the extralaryngeal soft tissues— real-world treatment, given the goal of organ preservation, in which constitutes a potential indication for laryngectomy. However, laryngectomy is reserved for only advanced disease. what follows appears to be an exercise in establishing whether there is merely tumor infiltration into the cartilage, a finding that may only establish T3 disease and that would not constitute REFERENCE grounds for surgery. Indeed, when the treatment goal is larynx 1. Kuno H, Sakamaki K, Fujii S, et al.
