[Quality of life in laryngectomized patients after vocal rehabilitation].
The study included patients with laryngeal cancer (stage III-IV) after laryngectomy. They underwent vocal rehabilitation assisted by biological monitoring using mathematical modeling and computer technology. EORTS QLQ-C30 questionnaires 30 (version 3.0) were used to assess quality of life as a tool of rehabilitative effect evaluation (special QLQ-N&N35 for head and neck tumor patients). Physical, psychological, social and symptomatic parameters were followed through the stages of vocal rehabilitation. On completion of therapy, patients spoke freely; 68% of them recovered their social and professional status.
