Brief Summary: RATIONALE Biological therapies such as imiquimod use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing It is not yet known if topical imiquimod is more effective than surgery in treating basal cell skin cancer

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying how well topical imiquimod works compared to surgery in treating patients with basal cell skin cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the rate of local recurrence at 3 years in patients with nodular or superficial basal cell skin cancer treated with imiquimod 5 cream vs excisional surgery
Compare recurrence at 6 months and 1 2 and 5 years in patients treated with these regimens
Compare the time to first recurrence in patients treated with these regimens
Compare the aesthetic appearance of lesion sites in patients treated with these regimens
Compare pain in patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to participating center and lesion type nodular vs superficial Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive topical imiquimod to a single lesion once daily for 6 weeks for a superficial lesion or 12 weeks for a nodular lesion Patients with early treatment failure or recurrence are offered surgical excision
Arm II Patients undergo surgical excision Patients are followed at 6 12 and 18 weeks every 6 months for 1 year annually for 2 years and then at 5 years
