s/p total laryngectomy with negative unilateral neck dissection, some invasion into the contralateral larynx and erosion through thyroid cartilage. ENT not concerned about stomal margins etc. No PNI, no LVSI. Referred him to me because that's what we do, and T4 tumors don't present this way commonly enough to really say much about forgoing adjuvant RT as far as I can tell, though the NCCN seems to allow for observation in a similar setting. Main problem in the present case is no contralateral nodal evaluation, though negative PET and path findings make him lower risk. In any case, wondering if/when people would observe a T4 following total laryngectomy.
