Colonoscopy planning for small, noncancerous colon polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether people with 1–2 small, noncancerous colon polyps should get their next colonoscopy after 5 years or after 10 years. It may help reduce unnecessary procedures or find cancers earlier if the shorter interval is safer for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 to 69 years old when your qualifying colonoscopy was done
- In the last 4 years, your first diagnosis was 1–2 non-advanced tubular adenomas (small and low-risk) found on a qualifying colonoscopy
- Any sessile serrated polyps/adenomas you had must be low-risk (not “advanced”)
- Your qualifying colonoscopy must have fully reached and clearly viewed the cecum, with good bowel cleaning, and all the found polyps were removed
- You can read or understand English or Spanish

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares a new, more frequent surveillance schedule (yearly stool tests and colonoscopies every 2 years) to the standard schedule for people who have had advanced polyps removed. It aims to see if the extra testing helps prevent future colon cancer.
This study tracks patients who had precancerous polyps (adenomas) removed from their colon to understand how often they come back and what factors affect recurrence. Your participation helps doctors improve screening and prevention strategies.
This trial compares whether a follow-up colonoscopy at 6 or 12 months is better for people who have had a large polyp (20-50 mm) removed. It will help doctors understand the best timing for surveillance.
This study looks at how often older veterans (age 75 and older) should get a follow-up colonoscopy after having polyps removed. Researchers will review medical records and talk to patients and doctors to help create better guidelines for surveillance colonoscopies in older adults.
This study looks at two different methods for removing large colon polyps to see which one better prevents polyps from coming back. It may help people who have a non-cancerous, flat polyp that is at least 20 mm wide.
This trial tests a special colonoscopy imaging technique that may help doctors find more pre-cancerous polyps and miss fewer. It's for people ages 45 to 85 who are already scheduled for a routine screening colonoscopy.
