“…Problems of Laryngectomy Patients "Cancer of the larynx," say Holinger and his associates 1 of all malignancies." Adequate treatment for advanced laryngeal cancer usually in¬ volves surgical removal of the entire larynx together with as much of the surrounding tissue as must also be excised in order to pro¬ vide a reasonable margin of safety.…”

In view of the increasing incidence and decreasing mortality due to larynx cancer, the constant 2: 1 ratio of esophageal speakers to nonspeakers among laryngectomees, and the widespread argeement that psychological factors are prime considerations in esophageal speech attainment, the investigation was designed to delineate certain psychological, physical, and sociological variables which might relate to attainment of alaryngeal speech. Ninety-four male laryngectomees responded to the Tennessee Self-concept Scale, the IPAT Anxiety Scale Questionnaire, and a standardized personal interview including a voice recording. Five variables (self-concept, bodyconcept, anxiety level, age at surgery, and defensive distortion of self-concept responses) were found to be significant in differentiating groups of nonesophageal, below-average, average, and above-average esophageal speakers. A significant difference in self-concept and body-concept appeared between the two high and the two low speaker groups. The below-average speakers were more anxious than were the average speakers or the above-average speakers. The above-average speakers were younger in age at surgery than were the subjects in the other three groups. The higher self-concept and body-concept scores of the better speakers may have been a function of a defense mechanism, as indicated by their defensive distortion scores which were higher than those of the below-average group. It was found that the variables of selfconcept, body-concept, and anxiety were ahout three times more influential than those of age at surgery and defensive distortion in identifying groups of speakers. The conclusions warranted were that necessary psychological counseling and immediate postoperative use of an artificial larynx before the institution of esophageal speech therapy would help raise the ratio of esophageal to nonesophageal speakers.
