  schema:description "This trial compared the three non-surgical treatments people are actually offered for a thin basal cell carcinoma. Photodynamic therapy, the one that was assumed to be best, came last. The imiquimod cream was the best of the three at one year and still the best at five, though by then a fifth of those treated with it had the tumour back."@en ;
