Two randomized trials of reirradiation after salvage surgery have been conducted by the GETTEC and GORTEC collaborative groups, both members of the French HN Intergroup: The first trial compared reirradiation and a "wait and see attitude" and was published in 2008 \[1\]. The second trial compared two modalities of reirradiation. Our hypothesis is that adjuvant treatment with immunotherapy will lead to a DFS similar to that observed in previous trials of post-operative reirradiation with possibly lower toxicity.
