Cancer could be diagnosed from the sound of your VOICE ‘within years'
Anyone with a hoarse voice is already told to visit the GP LISTEN UP Cancer could be diagnosed from the sound of your VOICE 'within years' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE early signs of cancer could be detected by listening to a patient's voice, scientists say. Using AI, subtle changes in the acoustics of a person's voice helped pick up lesions in people diagnosed with voice box cancer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The sound of your voice could indicate whether you have signs of cancer Credit: Getty Researchers believe AI could be trained to hear these changes within a "couple of years'. There are around 2,000 new cases of voice box (laryngeal) cancer in the UK each year. A hoarse voice for more than three weeks can be a key symptom, and should be investigated by a GP. Using AI for diagnosis could spell the end of uncomfortable tests currently used, such as a biopsy or nasendoscopy, in which a thin tube with a video camera is passed through the nose down the back of the throat. The American team, part of the 'Bridge2AI-Voice' project, gathered voice recordings of 300 patients, some of whom had voice box cancer. They studied at least six features of voice acoustics: the mean fundamental frequency (pitch); jitter, variation in pitch within speech; shimmer, variation of the amplitude; and the harmonic-to-noise ratio. There were "marked" differences between men with and without cancer or a voice box disorder, such as nodules or polyps, specifically the harmonic-to-noise ratio, according to the findings published in the journal Frontiers in Digital Health. It's possible the same will be found for women with a larger dataset. One of the study's authors, Dr Phillip Jenkins, of Oregon Health & Science University, said: "To move from this study to an AI tool that recognises vocal fold lesions, we would train models using an even larger dataset of voice recordings, labelled by professionals. "We then need to test the system to make sure it works equally well for women and men. BBC Gardeners world fans in tears as star reveals terminal cancer diagnosis during show "Voice-based health tools are already being piloted. "I estimate that with larger datasets and clinical validation, similar tools to detect vocal fold lesions might enter pilot testing in the next couple of years." 2 Voice box cancer, or laryngeal cancer, causes voice hoarseness, pain swallowing, or difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath and weight loss Credit: Getty The symptoms of voice box cancer Cancer Research UK have said there are four key symptoms of laryngeal cancer to look out for: 1. Hoarseness or a change in your voice If you have a hoarse voice for more than 3 weeks, it could be a sign of laryngeal cancer, says Cancer Research UK. It's worth seeing a doctor for a full check up and diagnosis, as inflammation of the larynx can also be caused by a cold, a chest infection and overuse of the voice, like singing. 2. Pain or difficulty swallowing If you're experiencing pain or having difficulty swallowing, it might be an indicator something is wrong. Visit your GP if for three weeks or more, you feel: that there is something small stuck in your throat you are struggling to swallow food some pain or a burning sensation when swallowing food that your food is sticking in your throat 3. Shortness of breath Experiencing shortness of breath is a symptom that should trigger an urgent response. Call 999 if you suddenly experience shortness of breath or are struggling to breathe. Some people may also find they have a cough that doesn't go away, they find it difficult to breath or when they inhale it's become noisy (stridor). 4. Weight loss Sudden or dramatic weight loss is a key sign of cancer, including laryngeal. Usually it will happen alongside other symptoms and the body's way of communicating that there is a problem. It may also happen because you're eating less due to pain or because you're having difficulty swallowing. You should see your doctor if you have lost 4 to 5 kg (10lbs) or more in a short time.

The iconic mobiles that didn't survive to 2025 amid fears another major brand will shut down after 33 years
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TODAY'S smartphone scene is largely dominated by Apple and Samsung. But before them many big brands came and went in a flash. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Mobile brands like HTC and BlackBerry were once the in thing Credit: Getty 6 Sony has insisted it's sticking by mobile brand Xperia despite low sales Credit: Getty Now there are fears another could become a thing of the past. Sony bosses insisted last week that they're not giving up on their Xperia brand despite all phones being out of stock for weeks. Instead, Lin Tao, Sony's chief financial officer, suggested that the division could go in another direction, saying "communication technology is used in areas other than smartphones". Little did many consumers know, Sony has still been releasing smartphones - and they've even won awards too. Samsung is currently the most popular phone around, with a 20.1 per cent market share according to IDC. They're followed very closely by Apple at 19.5 per cent. Others include Xiaomi, OPPO and Vivo which no one had even heard of in Sony Mobile's heyday. So which forgotten phones didn't survive to 2025? Take a look back below. LG 6 LG stopped making phones in 2021 Credit: Getty LG was once the world's third biggest mobile maker, peaking in 2013. But those numbers dwindled as Samsung and Apple grew, not to mention a load of cheaper new players. In April 2021, the firm announced that it would stop making phones altogether, before closing practically everything mobile in July the same year. Only recently was the final software update issued to its more recent phones. Android users warned as major brand shuts down phone business Windows Phone 6 Windows Phone failed to complete against iOS and Android Credit: Getty In a world suddenly led by iOS or Android, Microsoft tried to offer something a bit different in the form of Windows Phone. Despite a simple square design similar to the Windows PC operating system at the time, Windows Phone struggled to make inroads. In 2017, the firm gave up on new Windows Phone hardware, though they continued to support software for a little longer. BlackBerry 6 BlackBerry was one the 'it kid' of mobiles Credit: Getty At its height BlackBerry sold 50 million smartphones in a year. A physical keyboard and BBM before WhatsApp was the in thing which helped propel its success. But in came touch screens and everything changed leaving BlackBerry behind. The company gave up on mobiles in 2016, though the name briefly returned via a licencing deal with Chinese firm TCL until 2020. Sony Ericsson 6 The Sony Ericsson brand disappeared as Sony took over the company Credit: AFP Sony Ericsson is another iconic name you no longer see - though it didn't go because of ailing success. In 2012, Sony bought Ericsson's half of the company to go it alone. And so, Sony Mobile was the new name with its Xperia line. However, Sony's market share has gradually decreased, falling as low as one per cent in some countries. The firm recently told The Sun: "Withdrawal from the mobile business is not being considered at this time."
