Completed
Conditions
Glottic Carcinoma
Registration Number
NCT04447456
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Lille
Brief Summary

Patients with early-stage squamous cell carcinomas of the vocal cord can be treated in an equivalent way in terms of carcinology by surgery or radiotherapy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Voice Handicap IndexAt 5 years

The VHI is a self-administered questionnaire that provides a score ranging from 0 to 120 points validated in France and internationally based on the declarative answers to 30 items of the questionnaire. A high score corresponds to a voice felt to be of poor quality. This is a subjective assessment made by the patient.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, Strain, Instability SCORE (GRBASI Score)At 5 years

This score is obtained from an internationally and nationally validated hetero-assessment. It consists in the attribution by a listening jury made up of two people of a mark ranging from 0 to 3 for each of the 6 items: Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, Strain, Instability.

A high score is associated with a voice perceived as bad by the audience.

Acoustic Analysis by Vocalab softwareAt 5 years

short recording of the patient's voice delivering a standardized speech on VOCALAB software validated by the scientific community.

Maximum Phonation TimeAt 5 years

The TMP is the measurement in seconds of a vowel (/a/) held for as long as possible.
