Résumé
Salvage surgeries of head and neck tumors are considered as poor satisfactory either for disease control results or for aesthetic and functional outcomes. Several improvements have been made possible since few years in all fields of oncologic treatments. A new approach must be initiated in that context, moreover since take in charge for head and neck region (exclusive initial medical treatment) let us consider an increasement of clinical situations for which a salvage therapy could be performed. The new surgery techniques have to be considered, reconstructive and guided by systems, which can improve surgical skills (navigation, robotic, sentinel node procedure, nervous detection and so on), the help of reirradiation techniques, the use of medical therapy during surgical procedure, the photodynamic therapy and all the help provided by new medical imaging and modern biology, which can determine more precisely the status of the cancer when it is taken in charge. The mastery of those techniques improvements must follow on an evolution of the concepts in the field of combined salvage treatments performed by multidisciplinary teams. Those treatments have to be realized in structures, which have the techniques and the multiple skills for allowing increasement of outcomes of those severe diseases.
