A retrospective study of hypofractionated radiotherapy for keloids in 100 cases
Abstract At present, the consensus on the best treatment for keloids is the combination of clinical and surgical therapies, if necessary, associated with adjuvant radiotherapy like brachytherapy. Whereas, the uniform scheme of radiotherapy in keloids is unclear. Here, we conducting a retrospective a...
