Is T2N0M0 throat cancer serious?

Laryngeal cancer T2N0M0 refers to Stage 2 clinical staging of laryngeal cancer. Here, "T" denotes the primary lesion, typically classified as Stage 2. Stage 1 generally refers to the primary tumor, with Stage 2 lesions being larger in scope than Stage 1. "N0" indicates the local lymph nodes, showing that there is no local lymph node metastasis. "M0" indicates there is no distant metastasis. Therefore, laryngeal cancer T2N0M0 represents an early or intermediate stage. Clinically, this stage is usually most suitable for surgery, and the healing and prognosis after surgery are relatively favorable.
