Popis: Dysphonia has been reported with anti-angiogenic chemotherapy agents. Dysphonia in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy tends to be overlooked in clinical practice since it is non-life-threatening. However, it reduces quality of life. Although inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor is the reported mechanism of dysphonia, it has not been elucidated. We report 6 cases of patients with dysphonia suspected to be due to panitumumab and nivolumab that have not been reported previously. Peripheral edema, a factor in dysphonia, can be seen with aflibercept, bevacizumab, panitumumab, and nivolumab. Therefore, chemotherapy drugs with peripheral edema may be related to dysphonia.
