Assessment of voice, speech, and related quality of life in advanced head and neck cancer patients 10-years+ after chemoradiotherapy

• Impaired voice quality and speech are common sequels of HNC and its treatment.
• At 10-years+ after CRT functional voice and speech problems still are considerable.
• Swallowing and voice/speech problems are significantly correlated.
• Automatic speech recognition confirms perceptual evaluation of voice and speech.
• IMRT results in less voice and speech impairment than conventional radiotherapy.
