Check the best method to remove large flat colon polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two endoscopy techniques to remove large, flat-looking colon polyps. It aims to see which method removes the polyp more completely and safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a large flat colon polyp: either type FE/NG 20mm or more, or a mixed type 30mm or more.
- The polyp does not have a clear border (a “demarcated” area).
- You can complete a full colonoscopy that reaches the cecum (or you agree to do it before joining).
- You can read and answer study questionnaires in Spanish or English.
- You can have the planned procedure with general anesthesia if needed (no contraindications), and you can follow rules about stopping blood thinners/antiplatelet meds if required.

This trial compares two ways to remove large, flat polyps (granular type) from the colon or rectum: one that removes the polyp in one piece (endoscopic submucosal dissection) and one that removes it in pieces (endoscopic mucosal resection). The goal is to see which method has a lower chance of the polyp coming back.
This trial is for people with large (20-60 mm), non-cancerous colon growths on a wide base. It compares two endoscopic removal methods—ESD and EMR—to see which works best.
This trial tests two methods for removing large, flat polyps from the colon to see which works better. It uses a cold snare (a wire loop that doesn't use heat) with or without an extra fluid lift to make removal safer and more effective.
This study tests which technique best removes medium-sized colon polyps (10–20 mm). It may help you get a safer, more complete removal and reduce the chance of needing repeat procedures.
This study looks at patients who have a large, flat (sessile) or spreading growth in the colon that doctors plan to remove using an endoscopy. It aims to study the endoscopic removal process and outcomes for these bigger lesions.
This trial compares two special tools used to remove large, flat colon polyps during a colonoscopy. The goal is to see which tool is safer and more effective at removing the entire polyp in one piece, which may help avoid surgery.
