Treatment of Keloid Scars with Brachytherapy

Scar formation at the site of a wound is a natural part of the healing process. However, sometimes excessive collagen production leads to the formation of thick, dense scar tissue that continues to grow beyond the original wound. This is known as a keloid scar.

One of the common treatment methods is surgical removal. However, there is a risk of recurrence. To reduce this risk, surgical treatment may be combined with brachytherapy.

At Erebuni Radiotherapy Center, treatment is performed using the Varian Bravos brachytherapy system.
