How Excision + Postoperative Superficial Radiation Therapy is performed
After evaluation, the keloid is first surgically removed, and the wound is selected for direct suture, tension reduction, or skin grafting (if applicable). The specimen is sent for pathology. Subsequently, the radiation therapy department formulates a superficial radiation plan, using electron beams or low-energy X-rays, to irradiate the lesion and its edges in fractions under positioning and skin protection, and monitors the wound and skin reactions. The goal is to inhibit hyperplasia and related discomfort. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
