Voice Clinic
Lee Cancer Care offers specialized care for individuals with voice problems related to head and neck cancer and for professional voice users. Voice/speech rehabilitation services include evaluation of the larynx with videostroboscopy and tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis management for laryngectomees.

Videostroboscopy examines the vocal cords with a light and tiny camera within a scope. Light flashes on and off (strobe) as the vocal cords vibrate and move. This movement is videotaped and reviewed in slow motion for a closer look at the vocal cords.
