Purpose Cisplatin-induced hearing loss is a common side effect in patients treated with cisplatin-based chemoradiation (CRT) for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The extent of hearing loss after concurrent CRT was compared between triweekly (3 × 100 mg/m²) and weekly (7 × 40 mg/m²) cisplatin CRT. Method This retrospective cohort study was co...

Introduction Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated with cisplatin‐based chemoradiotherapy (CRT) frequently experience irreversible sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Patients with low lumbar skeletal muscle index (LSMI) may experience higher serum peak dosages of cisplatin. This study investigated whether pre‐treatment...

Background Head and neck lymphedema (HNL) is an accumulation of interstitial protein-rich fluid. During treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC), lymphatic vessels may be removed or damaged, causing a decrease in the function of the lymphatic system among 75% of the patients. To explore the lived experience of patients with head and neck lymphedema...
Article
Background: The Provox Vega High Performance (PVHP) is a newly developed voice prosthesis (VP) with an aim to achieve a longer and more predictable lifetime. Objectives: This feasibility study aims to assess patient acceptance of the PVHP VP, evaluate adverse events, voice quality, and device lifetime. Methods: Laryngectomized patients previou...
Article
Objective: This study aims to assess the product performance of a new moldable peristomal adhesive with corresponding heating pad designed to facilitate and improve automatic speaking valve (ASV) fixation for hands-free speech in laryngectomized patients. Methods: Twenty laryngectomized patients, all regular adhesive users with prior ASV experie...
Article

Background: Several conditions and diseases can result in speech problems that can have a negative impact on everyday functioning, referred to as communicative participation. Subjective problems with acquired speech problems are often assessed with the speech handicap index (SHI). To assess generic participation problems, the Utrecht Scale for Eva...

Objective swallowing outcomes measure the physical swallowing function, while subjective outcomes measure swallowing perception. A test for swallowing capacity, measuring the ingestion of all consistencies is currently not available. Therefore, the Swallowing Proficiency for Eating And Drinking (SPEAD) test was developed. It entails the timed inges...

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to assess the general course of acoustic, patient rated, and clinician-rated voice outcomes from pre- up to 12 months post total laryngectomy.Methods Patients admitted to a total laryngectomy in five participating hospitals in Australia and The Netherlands were included. Assessments took place at pre-, 3 months,...

Objectives Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) is a threshold based device-driven treatment for improving expiratory pressure. EMST proved to be effective in different patient groups to improve cough function. To date, EMST has not been tested in the total laryngectomy population (TL). Methods This prospective, randomized case-series study...

Objective Total laryngectomy (TL) leads to lifelong physical changes which can lead to functional and participation issues. To assess the relationship between self‐reported quality of life and functional and participation issues, a large international online questionnaire was used. Method A questionnaire was sent out to 8119 recipients of whom 170...
Article

Background: Physical and psychosocial challenges are common after total laryngectomy. The surgery leads to lifelong changes in communication, airway, swallowing and appearance. As we move towards health models driven by patient-centred care, understanding the differential impacts of surgical procedures on subgroups of patients can help improve our...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
The purpose of this study is to describe the acoustic changes of the consonants /t/ and /d/ in Dutch speaking individuals before and after total laryngectomy. The speech of seventeen participants was recorded before and after treatment. Eighteen tokens from a read-aloud text were obtained with /t/ or /d/ in initial position. Prevoicing, burst durat...

Background: Esophageal speech (ES), tracheoesophageal speech (TES) and/or electrolarynx speech (ELS) are three speech rehabilitation methods which are commonly provided after total laryngectomy (TL). Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted to evaluate comparative acoustic, perceptual, and patient-reported outcomes for ES, TE...
