Dr Ian Lampkin, Consultant Clinical Oncologist
Skin, prostate and bladder cancer specialist, benign skin and musculoskeletal radiotherapy expert Liverpool and Manchester.
I am a consultant clinical oncologist working across the North West, providing patients with access to the latest innovations in cancer treatment and radiotherapy, with a particular interest in providing highly specialist, evidence-based and personalised cancer care.
I specialise in treating prostate and bladder cancer, melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, and several painful benign conditions, including Dupuytren’s Contracture, Osteoarthritis, Ledderhose disease, Eczema and Psoriasis, that respond well to low-dose radiotherapy.
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer, or you would like to learn more about my treatment for benign conditions, I can help you to understand your options and get you started with treatment.

About Dr Lampkin
I qualified from the University of Liverpool in 2011, trained across the North West, and was appointed a consultant in 2022. During my training years, I saw first-hand the profound impact that a cancer diagnosis can have on individuals and their families. This is what inspired me to pursue a career in Oncology.
I work across both the NHS and private sectors, offering specialist and innovative treatment tailored to the individual needs, circumstances and wishes of each patient. I specialise in urological cancers, particularly prostate and bladder cancer, providing comprehensive oncological management across different stages of the diseases, as well as radiotherapy for skin cancers using a range of advanced radiotherapy techniques to treat a range of skin malignancies including melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
I also treat a number of painful benign conditions with low-dose radiotherapy, having trained in it through the RTABC Academy, and I am among only a small number of clinicians in the UK with expertise in this area. Alongside my clinics I sit on the NICE committee for prostate cancer diagnosis and management, and I am actively involved in clinical research, participating in local clinical trials with the aim of advancing treatment and improving outcomes for patients.
I believe good cancer care isn’t only about treating the disease. It’s about understanding the person behind the diagnosis, listening properly, and making sure you’re involved in the decisions about your own treatment.
“My mission is to provide expert, evidence-based and personalised cancer care that puts each patient at the heart of every decision, combining specialist expertise with compassion, understanding and support throughout their treatment journey.”
How I can help: Areas of specialism
Prostate and bladder cancer
Radiotherapy (IMRT/VMAT), hormone therapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy for prostate and bladder cancer, used on their own or together, depending on your specific situation.
Skin cancer
Radiotherapy for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, including basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. A good option where surgery would be difficult, includes orthovoltage, electron and skin brachytherapy.
Benign conditions treatment
Low-dose radiotherapy for Dupuytren’s contracture, Ledderhose disease, plantar fasciitis, eczema and psoriasis, and more. Non-invasive, quick, and available at very few centres in the UK.

We’ll review your history, your diagnosis and any test or scan results. I’ll examine you, and I’ll set out the treatment options I think are worth considering.
