Keloid
Conditions
Brief summary
Keloids are often described as benign dermal fibroproliferative lesions characterized by increased growth beyond the boundaries of the original wound margin.Fibroblasts are considered to be the key cellular mediators of fibrogenesis in keloid scars. Thus this prospective study is going to investigate whether 68Ga-RGD PET/CT may provide evidence for diagnosis and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation with clinical symptoms, laboratory tests | 1 year | The clinical assessment of keloids commonly includes the Vancouver Scar Scale for objective scar evaluation, along with laboratory inflammatory markers such as complete blood count (CBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP). |
