June 6-8, 2025 – Shanghai, China

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

On behalf of the Keloid Research Foundation, and in collaboration with Drs. Xiaoli Wu and Wei Liu of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, we are delighted to extend a warm welcome and cordially invite you to join us at the 5th International Keloid Symposium to be held in Shanghai, China, on June 6th, 7th, and 8th, 2025.

This symposium marks the return of the event to China after the successful 2019 meeting in Beijing. With a population of over 1.4 billion, China treats a significant number of keloid cases annually using a variety of therapeutic techniques, including some novel and unique methods that are widely practiced in the country. As a nation with a rich history, Traditional Chinese Medicine has also played an important role in keloid treatment, often complementing Western medical approaches such as intralesional injections, cryotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy to enhance therapeutic outcomes. This unique integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, which is also likely practiced in other Asian countries, will be presented and discussed at the symposium.

The aim of this symposium is to bring together experts from around the world to share their latest achievements in keloid research and therapy, including basic scientists, dermatologists, general and plastic surgeons, ENT and maxillofacial surgeons, oncologists, laser specialists, and rehabilitation physicians.

This three-day meeting will feature intensive, interactive exchanges of ideas, the latest technologies, and broad experience in the management of keloid disorder, complemented by excellent social activities and exceptional food and dining experiences.

We look forward to welcoming you to Shanghai for this unique event in June 2025. It promises to be an exceptional gathering where leading experts from around the globe will come together to exchange knowledge, explore cutting-edge advancements, and foster collaborations in the field of keloid research and therapy. We are confident that this symposium will be a memorable and enriching experience for all attendees, both professionally and culturally.

Yours sincerely,
The Organizing Committee
