Surgical Excision and Immediate Postoperative Radiotherapy versus Cryotherapy and Intralesional Steroids in the Management of Keloids: A Prospective Clinical Trial

Abstract

This study showed that surgery plus immediate postoperative irradiation was an effective and relatively safe choice for treatment of keloids. Although cryotherapy combined with intralesional steroids was associated with more side effects and higher relapse rates, it could be a good choice for small and newly formed keloids.
