Phase II Trial to Assess Target Oral Therapy as Adjuvant Chemoprevention in High-Risk Head and Neck Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine whether erlotinib will be effective in controlling cancer that has returned after treatment with salvage surgery and radiation. This study will also determine what effects, good and/or bad, this drug has on the participants.
