AI Detects Early Signs of Laryngeal Cancer From Voice Recordings
UNITED STATES, AUG 12 – AI analyzed 12,523 voice recordings to detect vocal fold abnormalities linked to early laryngeal cancer, potentially improving survival rates from 35% to 78%, researchers said.
- The team of US scientists showed that AI could help detect early laryngeal cancer from voice recordings, as published in Frontiers in Digital Health.
- Recognizing prognosis hinges on early detection, as the global burden of laryngeal cancer motivates noninvasive screening innovations.
- Researchers focused on analyzing 12,523 voice recordings from 306 participants, measuring acoustic features like harmonic-to-noise ratio and fundamental frequency.
- Early noninvasive identification of vocal fold lesions may improve diagnostic access and outcomes, as variation in the harmonic-to-noise ratio could aid early detection in men.
- Voice-Based tools could, as Jenkins predicts, enter pilot testing within two years pending larger datasets and clinical validation.

AI detects early signs of laryngeal cancer from voice recordings
Cancer of the voice box or larynx is an important public health burden. In 2021, there were an estimated 1.1 million cases of laryngeal cancer worldwide, and approximately 100,000 people died from it. Risk factors include smoking, alcohol abuse, and infection with human papillomavirus.
AI could soon detect early voice box cancer from the sound of your voice
Cancer of the voice box or larynx is an important public health burden. In 2021, there were an estimated 1.1 million cases of laryngeal cancer worldwide, and approximately 100,000 people died from it. Risk factors include smoking, alcohol abuse, and infection with human papillomavirus. The prognosis for laryngeal cancer ranges from 35% to 78% survival over five years when treated, depending on the tumor's stage and its location within the voice …
AI can detect early larynx cancer through voice analysis: Study
New Delhi: A team of US scientists showed that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help detect early larynx or voice box cancer from the sound of the patient’s voice.
