Analysis of the Efficacy of Surgical Excision Combined with Electron Beam Therapy for Keloids.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the incidence and impact of patient characteristics and timing of postoperative electron beam therapy on the treatment efficacy of keloids. A total of 66 patients with keloids underwent surgical treatment and postoperative electron beam therapy. Follow-up was conducted for 43 patients, and treatment efficacy was analyzed for 39 patients. Statistical analysis was used to analyze incidence characteristics and effects of patient characteristics and timing of electron beam therapy on treatment efficacy. The study included 66 patients with 133 keloids. The timing of electron beam therapy significantly impacted treatment efficacy, with higher efficacy observed when performed 0-2 days after surgery compared to 3-5 days after surgery. Keloids are more common in women aged 20-40 years. The timing of electron beam therapy significantly impacted treatment efficacy, with higher efficacy observed when performed 0-2 days after surgery compared to 3-5 days after surgery.
