[Radiation therapy of keloids and hemangiomas (author's transl)]. 1975

A Born, and W Born

Keloids and hemangiomas of the cavernous type which require treatment respond very reliably to X-rays. Adequate use of this therapeutic possibility offers considerable advantages to the patients in many cases and in addition it is without danger. Treatment of hemangiomas with beta radiation in the form of Sr-90/Y-90 plates for shortterm application to the skin is so safe and at the same time so successful that, in view of the not at all rare unfavorable spontaneous course, it seems rather risky to delay the indication to begin radiation therapy at the earliest possible moment.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007627	Keloid	A sharply elevated, irregularly shaped, progressively enlarging scar resulting from formation of excessive amounts of collagen in the dermis during connective tissue repair. It is differentiated from a hypertrophic scar (CICATRIX, HYPERTROPHIC) in that the former does not spread to surrounding tissues.	Keloids
D011878	Radiotherapy	The use of IONIZING RADIATION to treat malignant NEOPLASMS and some benign conditions.

D002056	Burns	Injuries to tissues caused by contact with heat, steam, chemicals (BURNS, CHEMICAL), electricity (BURNS, ELECTRIC), or the like.	Burn
D004273	DNA, Neoplasm	DNA present in neoplastic tissue.	Neoplasm DNA
D006391	Hemangioma	A vascular anomaly due to proliferation of BLOOD VESSELS that forms a tumor-like mass. The common types involve CAPILLARIES and VEINS. It can occur anywhere in the body but is most frequently noticed in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE.

D013326	Strontium Radioisotopes	Unstable isotopes of strontium that decay or disintegrate spontaneously emitting radiation. Sr 80-83, 85, and 89-95 are radioactive strontium isotopes.	Radioisotopes, Strontium
D015021	Yttrium Radioisotopes	Unstable isotopes of yttrium that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. Y atoms with atomic weights 82-88 and 90-96 are radioactive yttrium isotopes.	Radioisotopes, Yttrium
