Journal of singing, Vol.70(1)
01 Sep 2013
Abstract
SINGING TEACHERS NEED TO BE AWARE of the many health issues that potentially affect their students. Laryngeal cancer, though fortunately rare, can have a significant impact on voice. Laryngeal cancer accounts for only 1% of new cancer diagnoses in the United States`,1 but it can have profound effects on those who use their voices in a professional capacity. Early identification and intervention are crucial for effective voice preservation as well as overall survival. The singing teacher should be familiar with this disease process and be equipped to identify those most at risk so that early referral and knowledgeable support can be provided to singers who look to their teachers for answers.
