“…Dysphonia may have several causes, including laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer, laryngeal‐tracheal separation for severe dysphagia, and ventilator management due to decreased respiration caused by neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Among patients diagnosed with laryngeal cancer, 54% lose their voice after total laryngectomy 1 . In Japan, 20% of patients with ALS are on tracheostomy positive‐pressure ventilation, 2 which has a direct and major effect on their quality of life 3 .…”

ObjectivePatients lose their voice after laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer or aspiration prevention surgery for severe dysphagia. To assist such patients, we developed and verified the utility of a novel vocalization method using a device termed the voice retriever (VR), in which the sound source is placed in the mouth.MethodsWe investigated the effectiveness of the VR in patients. The VR consists of a mouthpiece with a built‐in speaker and a dedicated application that serves as the sound source. We compared the speech intelligibility and naturalness in normal participants using VR and an electrolarynx (EL) for the first time as well as the voice‐related quality of life (V‐RQOL) in patients with dysphonia before and after using the VR.ResultsThe VR produced significantly higher 100‐syllable test scores as well as fluency, amount of additional noise, intonation, intelligibility and overall long reading test ratings in the first‐time VR and EL users. Furthermore, the VR use significantly improved the V‐RQOL of participants with dysphonia.ConclusionCompared to EL, VR allows more effective speech improvement in participants without experience using an alternative vocalization method and improves the V‐RQOL in patients with dysphonia.Level of EvidenceStep 4.

“…A study done in Kenya showed that Cigarette smoking and alcohol ingestion are strong risk factors for development of late stage and poorly differentiated laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma ( 7 ). The commonest clinical manifestation of laryngeal cancer is hoarseness of voice while dysphagia, neck swelling and throat pain was commoner among supra glottic cancers while hoarseness of voice was more common in glottic cancers ( 4 ).…”

BACKGROUNS: Head and neck cancer is the commonest cancer among male patients and the third commonest cancer in females at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital from 1998 to 2010. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study of 90 patients with laryngeal mass who came to oncology and radiology departments at Tikur Anbessa specialized hospital from 2016 to 2019. Medical records were reviewed for clinical data, history, laryngoscope exam and computed tomography (CT) reports. The agreement between imaging and laryngoscope examination were analyzed. RESULTS: The mean age of presentation was 51.5 years ±14 (SD). The primary patient complaint was hoarseness of voice 77(85.6%) followed by shortness of breath in 28(31.1%). Among 34 cases for which risk factors were indicated, 23 (67.6%) had cigarette smoking. Out of the 79 cases with laryngeal subsites described, 38 (48.1%) were transglottic, 27 (34.2%) were glottic and 12 (15.2%) were supraglottic. Extra-laryngeal spread was seen in 46(51.1%) patients and 42(46.7) were stage IVA. Out of 90 patients only 38(42.2%) patients had laryngoscope findings. CONCLUSION: Transglottic involvement with extra-laryngeal spread was common with advanced stage at presentation.
