Comparison of the Effectiveness of Phosphorus 32 Application and 10 Mg/Cc Triamcinolone Acetonide Intralesional Injection on Keloid
Abstract: To analyze the
effectiveness of phosphorus 32 (32P) application compared to 10 mg/cc
triamcinolone acetonide (TA) intralesional injection in keloid.
Methods: A single blind (evaluator blind) randomized clinical trial on 52
keloids was conducted during the period of May – August 2014 in Tumor and Skin
Surgery Clinic, Department of Dermatovenereology and Department of Nuclear
Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung.
Results: Lesions were divided into two groups with each group consisted
of 26 lesions. Group A was treated with 32P application whereas group B was
treated with 10 mg/cc TA intralesional injection. Flattening of the lesion of
more than 50% was higher in the group treated with 32P application (76.9%)
compared to the group that was treated with 10 mg/cc TA intralesional injection
(57.7%) on the 8th week, but the difference was not statistically significant
(p>0.05).
Conclusions: Based on the statistical analysis, the application of 32P
was as effective as the intralesional injection of 10 mg/cc TA for keloid
lesions.
