Keloid Treatment Center

keloid is a benign and non-cancerous skin tumor, it often behaves like a cancer. Keloids tend to grow back after surgery; they often spread to the neighboring skin; and at times nothing can stop their growth. When we look at keloids at a cellular level, we can find several dysregulated molecular pathways. Same dysregulated molecular pathways are also found in cancers. We still don't know why and how this dysregulation happens and what triggers it. As for treatment, we treat keloids with modalities that we treat cancers. Surgery, Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy are three very commonly used methods of treating cancers. We use the same set of treatments for keloids.
