Abstract

Keloids represent a kind of superficial benign tumor that grows aggressively in response to dermal injury, which was characterized by overproduction of collagen and local fibroblast proliferation. Patients suffering from keloids often complain of unwanted symptoms such as pruritus, pain, skin infection and aesthetic problems. Up to now, the treatment of keloids is still a challenge, the recurrence rate is still high when applying each therapy alone.
From the beginning of 2021, for the first time in Vietnam, the hospital has applied the superficial radiation system with the SRT 100, Sensus Healthcare - USA, for patients after keloids surgery, nonmelanoma skin cancer, Here, we present a case report.
