Compare removal of colon polyps with hot vs cold snare
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study compares two ways doctors remove certain colon polyps during colonoscopy: “hot snare” versus “cold snare.” It’s looking at whether one method removes polyps better and with fewer problems for people with polyps that are 10–15 mm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can read and sign written consent to join the study

This trial compares two ways of removing small (4-10 mm) colon polyps that have a stalk: one using a cold snare and one using a hot snare. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective, helping you reduce your risk of polyps returning.
This study compares two ways of removing small colon polyps (4–9 mm) that stick out like mushrooms. Both methods use a snare during a colonoscopy; one uses cold (without heat) and the other uses heat (cautery). The goal is to see which is safer and more effective for removing these polyps.
This trial compares two common techniques for removing small polyps (less than 10 millimeters) during a colonoscopy: a cold snare (a wire loop) and cold forceps (a grasping tool). The goal is to find out which method is safer and more effective at completely removing these small growths to help prevent colon cancer.
This study compares two ways to remove flat colon polyps during a colonoscopy: one uses a cold snare (no heat) and the other uses a hot snare (with heat). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for removing medium-sized polyps.
This trial compares two techniques (cold vs. hot loop snare) to remove medium-sized, non-cancerous colon polyps. It aims to find which method is safer and more effective for polyps that are 10–14 mm and flat or slightly raised.
This study compares two methods for removing larger polyps (flat growths) found during a colonoscopy. It tests if one technique works as well or better than the other for people with certain types of polyps.
