520 _aThis study aimed to investigate and compare the voice related quality of life in individuals treated with two dierent modalities for laryngeal cancer: total laryngectomy using tracheoesophageal speech (TES) and chemoradiotherapy using laryngeal speech (CRT). Twenty patients, who were divided into two groups- group I (TES) and group II (CRT) with ten in each, participated in the study. They autonomously completed the Voice Related Quality Of Life (V-RQOL), a questionnaire with 10-items for quality of life survey. Statistical analysis was performed and results revealed dierences between the groups on domains and total scores of V-RQOL; however, the dierence was not statistically signicant.Thus, the study concluded that self-assessment is crucial and should be considered as a part of voice evaluation. Also, voice related problems occur not only for TES group but also for CRT patients which indicates the need of voice- and speech rehabilitation in both patient groups.
