What is your regimen for treating a keloid with radiation alone?   

For patients who are not candidates for excision, have you effectively used radiation alone? There is a study using 7.5 Gy x5 in weekly doses (Malaker et al.  Retrospective Analysis of Treatment of Unresectable Keloids with Primary Radiation Over 25 Years.  Clinical Oncology, 16(4): 2004).  Are there any other successful regimens available?
