This feasibility study is exploring whether regular voice recordings could become a useful tool to help detect if laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer (cancers of the voice box and throat) comes back after treatment. Researchers will ask participants to provide voice recordings every three months and answer simple questions about how their voice affects their daily life. The goal is to see whether monitoring voice changes could eventually help doctors catch recurrence earlier.
After treatment for throat cancer, patients need regular check-ups to make sure the cancer hasn't returned. Currently, doctors rely on visual exams and scans. This study is testing whether voice recordings could be a practical, easy-to-do tool that helps detect recurrence, potentially catching problems earlier and giving patients better outcomes.

Over a minimum of six months, you would visit the hospital every three months for voice recordings and a fiberendoscopic examination (a small camera to look at your throat). At each visit, you would also complete a short questionnaire about how your voice is affecting you. The study involves no medication or invasive treatment — it is purely observational monitoring using your voice as a potential early warning sign for cancer recurrence.
