Interstitial high-dose-rate brachytherapy in the treatment of keloids: Moving toward a volumetric approach

Brachytherapy (BT) after surgical resection of keloids reduces the risk of local recurrence, but standardization of dose/technique is lacking. Typical keloid BT treatment utilizes a single-channel source prescribed to 5-mm depth. We investigated the dosimetry of a volume-based target definition for interstitial high-dose-rate BT treatment of keloids.
