Minimal invasive LASER-resection . radiotherapy as primary treatment of early glottic cancer. A population-based study with, up to 16 years follow up of survival, rate of laryngectomy and voice function.

Background: Early glottic cancer can be treated with laser resection or radiotherapy. In an earlier study, we found that voice function after laser resection was inferior to that after radiotherapy.

Objectives: This study was designed to determine if reduced margins at laser resection improved voice function without impairing oncologic results.

How older adults relate to their own voices: a qualitative study of subjective experiences of the aging voice.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate how otherwise healthy older adults with self-assessed voice problems relate to their voice and voice changes.

Method: Focus groups were conducted at an activity center to identify how older adults reflect on their own voice and the aging voice in general. The interviews were audio recorded and transcribed.

Immune delineation of laryngeal papilloma reveals enhanced neutrophil associated gene profile.

Laryngeal papilloma (LP) is a rare benign disease, caused by recurrent multisite papillomas that are referred to as recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). RRP is caused primarily by two types of human papillomavirus (HPV): HPV6 and HPV11. The immune dysregulation within the microenvironment of the lesions has been shown to likely play a role in the development of RRP.

Absolute or relative voice rest after phonosurgery: a blind randomized prospective clinical trial.

Objectives: The first aim, was to compare participant compliance with postoperative voice rest advice in two groups. The second aim was to compare vocal function and recovery in the short-term, seven days post-surgery and in the long-term, 3-6 months post-surgery.

Design: Preliminary randomized prospective blind clinical trial.
