Initial experience with brachytherapy treatment adjuvant to surgical resection of keloid scars in the pediatric population.

Objectives: The treatment of keloid scars is based on multiple lines of therapy, with varying levels of efficacy(1), and there is currently no single treatment that guarantees cure and prevents recurrence. In the pediatric population, the treatments used are not standardized, and there is insufficient evidence to support efficacy and complications. The objective of this study was to analyze the patients who required brachytherapy as an adjuvant to surgical resection in recurrent keloid scars.
