Is there any new medical, not homeopathic, solutions to removing or reducing Keloids?

my wife suffers from a Keloid that appeared on her chest 17 years ago. she has had it removed twice, the last time 10 years ago. each time she has taken local radiation to stop the regrowth.

Is there any new medical, not homeopathic, solutions to removing or reducing Keloids?
Keloids often require no treatment. Keloids may be reduced in size by freezing (cryotherapy), external pressure, corticosteroid injections, laser treatments, radiation, or surgical removal. It is not unusual for keloids to reappear (sometimes larger than before) after they have been removed. The doctor I used to work for used cryotherapy to reduce them and then surgical removal.
