Based at the University of Nottingham, Dr Fiona Bath-Hextall is running a clinical trial called SINS, testing whether a cream called imiquimod or surgery is best for treating basal cell skin cancer.
Cancer Research UK has funded Dr Bath-Hextall and her colleague Professor Hywell Williams to carry out an important randomised clinical trial to see whether a skin cream that boosts the immune system (imiquimod cream) is a useful treatment for "low risk" basal cell carcinoma when compared to surgical removal under a local anaesthetic.
