Laryngeal function after oncologic treatment is a key aspect and focus of interest in the contemporary management of head and neck cancers. Although historically the treatment of most locally advanced laryngeal cancers has been total laryngectomy, recent innovations in radiation therapy and combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy have shown that organ and function preservation can be achieved with good oncologic outcomes. Technical improvements, along with better understanding of tumor biology and dose tolerance of critical organs involved in speech and swallowing function, have paved the way for better outcomes. This article reviews in comprehensive detail the recent data of laryngeal function after radiotherapy
