Abstract | BACKGROUND: To provide further information about short-term effects on voice quality and health-related quality of life (HRQL) following radiotherapy for laryngeal cancer, comparing glottic and supraglottic tumours. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty-seven male patients who received radiotherapy for glottic and supraglottic tumours were included. Voice recordings were performed and patient reported outcome questionnaires filled in before radiotherapy and one-month post-completion. Acoustic and temporal measures were produced from the recordings and compared to an age-matched, vocally healthy control group (n = 23). RESULTS: Deterioration of HRQL post-radiotherapy was noted for both the glottic and supraglottic cohort. Pre- radiotherapy the glottic cohort demonstrated acoustic and temporal measures that were statistically different from healthy controls, with improvements post-radiotherapy where several measures showed no statistically significant differences compared to healthy controls. The supraglottic cohort revealed voice measures comparable to the healthy controls but demonstrated statistically significant impairments in HRQL compared to the glottic cohort following radiotherapy. CONCLUSION: Patients with supraglottic tumours may experience more eating and swallowing related problems prior to radiotherapy compared to glottic tumours and demonstrate a more significant reduction in HRQL following treatment. However, in terms of voice measurements, subjective measures correlate poorly with objective acoustic parameters, thereby emphasising the importance of patient-reported outcomes as part of treatment evaluation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
