Surgery plus 32P treatment for keloids
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether removing a keloid with surgery and then applying a radioactive substance (called 32P) can help treat it. The researchers will also watch how well the treatment works over time to see what affects the outcome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a keloid that has been confirmed by a biopsy (a small sample of tissue checked under a microscope).
- The keloid is at least 3 mm thick and you are within 1 week after having it surgically removed.
- You have at least one keloid that can be measured using a standard scar rating scale (Vancouver Scar Scale).
- You do not have any other skin conditions that look like a keloid.
- You are willing to come to follow-up visits and follow the study plan.

This study looks at how keloid scars form by studying the skin cells. You may be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have a keloid, and are already planning to have surgery to remove it.
This trial tests two ways to treat keloids (thick, raised scars that grow beyond the original wound): injecting a medication called 5-fluorouracil alone, or combining it with cryotherapy (freezing). The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain, itching, and visible scarring.
This trial tests whether injecting a medicine called bleomycin is better than a standard treatment for reducing keloids. It compares two common treatments to see which works best for patients like you.
This study tests how radiation (RT) can treat keloids, especially when surgery is not possible or you choose not to do surgery. The goal is to see if radiation can safely improve or control the keloid.
This trial tests a new way to treat keloids by injecting medicine directly into the scar. It may help people with thick, raised scars that don't go away on their own.
This study tests whether a combination of wide-band ultrasound and a traditional Chinese medicine preparation can prevent keloid scars from coming back after surgery and improve their appearance and symptoms. It may help people who have multiple keloids that are stable or growing and need surgical removal.
