ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of early surgery combined with electron linac therapy on keloid.Methods The keloid patients with stable phase were selected;complete resection of keloid and relaxation suture were performed;after the surgery within 24 hours 6 MeV with Varian 2300CD radiotherapy was given,each measuring 4 Gy,total dose of 20 Gy.Results 860 cases of patients were colected for a period of 3 months to 36 months of regular follow-up,which recovered in 802 cases (cure rate was 93.26％),effective results were observed in 41 cases (effective rate of 4.77％),including 17 cases of recurrence (recurrence rate 1.98％),the total efficiency (cure plus effective) was 98.02％.Conclusions More accurately immediate radiotherapy after surgery can effectively reduce the recurrence rate,which is a safe and effective method in the treatment of keloids.
