Characterizing Voice Changes and Primary Aberrant Features in Survivors of Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancer Treated with Radiation Therapy

Voice changes are common in head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors who undergo radiation therapy (RT). Most studies have assessed changes with validated patient reported outcomes measures (PROMS). There is a need to combine PROMS with patient voice recordings. The purpose of this study was to characterize voice changes using a standardized protocol and describe primary aberrant features using expert listeners.
