  • Title: Effects of laryngeal cancer on voice and swallowing.
    Author: Starmer HM, Tippett DC, Webster KT.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 2008 Aug; 41(4):793-818, vii. PubMed ID: 18570960.
    Abstract:
    Specific deficits that may be encountered as well as interventional strategies and evidence-based practice are discussed. When discussing the voice, it is important to consider that for many people the voice is not just a tool for communication, but also an identifying feature that allows expression of personality. Eating and swallowing are vital to life sustenance and also allow for a myriad of social interactions. Laryngeal cancer can have a dramatic impact on this delicately balanced system leading to disturbances of voice and swallowing.
