喉癌是最常见的头颈部恶性肿瘤。喉部肿瘤的治疗取决于诊断时的疾病阶段，可能涉及手术，放射，化疗或多种方式的组合。无论肿瘤分期或提供的治疗如何，生活质量（QOL）都可能受到严重影响。声音相关的结果几乎普遍受到影响，并可能对整体生活质量产生负面影响。因此，治疗结果必须超出肿瘤治愈本身的问题。喉癌治疗后的声音和声音相关的生活质量指标是治疗成功的重要标志。本文将大致概述喉癌及其治疗，声乐康复，并提供深入了解各种方法评估治疗后的声音和声音变化对这些患者的生活质量的影响。
Laryngeal cancer is the most commonly diagnosed head and neck malignancy. Treatment of laryngeal tumors is dependent upon disease stage at diagnosis, and may involve surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of modalities. Regardless of tumor stage or treatment provided, quality of life (QOL) can be drastically affected. Voice-related outcomes are almost universally affected and can have a negative impact on overall QOL. Thus, treatment outcomes must extend beyond issues of oncological cure alone. Measures of voice and voice-related QOL following treatment for laryngeal cancer are important markers of treatment success. This article will broadly outline laryngeal cancer and its treatment, vocal rehabilitation, and provide insight into the various methods of assessing post-treatment voice and the influence of voice change on quality of life in these patients.
