Abstract
This project investigated the potential spread of cancer within the larynx by an analysis of the permeability and resistance of the subepithelial spaces. Permeation and diffusion of dye injections in the loose connective tissues below the epithelium was analyzed by histologic preparations in the sagittal plane. The margins of the infusion were identified grossly and microscopically, and the influence of the fibrous, elastic, and muscular components was analyzed with reference to the dispersion of the dyes. A close correlation between laboratory data from normal postmortem larynges and clinical problems of laryngeal cancer was observed in this study.
