Abstract
Keloid is a fibroproliferative disease, usually caused by abnormal wound healing, and it is easy to recur after surgical resection. In recent years, the application of radioactive adjuvant therapy has greatly reduced the recurrence rate of keloids after resection. This article reviews several brachytherapy methods commonly used in clinical practice, and provides references for clinicians and researchers in related fields in the treatment of keloids.
