Abstract submitted for the 5th International Keloid Symposium
Background: Scars are the products and symbols of wound healing, the inevitable result of the repair of severe tissue damage in the body. They are common, frequently-occurring, chronic, and difficult-to-treat diseases. Keloids are a special type of scar. Currently, the formation mechanism remains unclear, and there is no specific treatment method. All kinds of treatment methods have a certain recurrence rate, which is a major international problem in clinical medicine and a major difficulty in scar treatment. Patients have tried various treatment methods but with unsatisfactory results. They have spent more money, made more trips, lost confidence, no longer trust doctors, and in some cases, medical disputes have even occurred. Doctors have done their best and carried out repeated treatments, but keloids still recur. They lose patience and wonder whether keloids can be completely cured.
Methods: Currently, there are many treatment methods for scars, and the appropriate method needs to be selected according to the condition of the scar, as well as the efficacy and side effects of each method. The treatment methods for keloids can be classified according to their efficacy into main methods (surgical resection of the lesion, intralesional drug injection, and radiotherapy) and auxiliary methods (oral and topical medications, topical application of silicone gel, laser treatment, compression therapy, etc.). Professor Cai Jinglong has proposed an accurate mode for the complete cure of keloids – the systematic, comprehensive, and dynamic treatment of keloids (the Cai Jinglong mode). Guided by the theory of the tumor origin of keloids, this mode selects treatment methods according to the clinical classification of keloids, uses radiotherapy to prevent and treat scar hyperplasia and keloids, adopts the method mainly based on early surgery to treat keloids, and conducts early treatment, comprehensive treatment, and happy treatment. It also implements systematic, comprehensive, and dynamic treatment methods and ideas for the prevention and treatment of scars.
Results: Professor Cai Jinglong has proposed the criteria for evaluating the efficacy of keloids. By using the systematic, comprehensive, and dynamic treatment of keloids (the Cai Jinglong mode) to treat thousands of patients with keloids of various types and in various parts of the body, the control rate of keloids has reached 100%, achieving good results.
Conclusion: Early treatment and the use of the correct treatment method for keloids can completely cure keloids. Both doctors and patients should be full of confidence in this, which promotes the improvement of the diagnosis and treatment level of keloids.
