Abstract
Laryngeal edema occurs when the larynx is included in the treatment field and may impact the voice. Laryngeal edema accompanied by hoarseness is a common acute side effect in radiation therapy of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma and whenever the neck is irradiated [1]; however, no studies have reported its incidence as an acute side effect. It has been estimated that 15–59% of patients with head and neck cancers develop grade 2 or higher laryngeal edema within 2 years after radiation therapy [2].
