[Adjuvant treatment of keloid scars: Electrons or brachytherapy?]

CONCLUSION: Brachytherapy seems to provide better local control compared to electrontherapy, and should be proposed as first line treatment. However, electrontherapy is an interesting alternative in case of difficulty to realize brachytherapy. There is probably a dose effect: according to published data, 25 to 30Gy should at least be proposed.
