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

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 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 people who have had colon polyps removed to see how follow-up colonoscopies help prevent future polyps or cancer. You may join if you are between 18 and 75 and have had a polyp removed at this hospital.
This study looks at how often people with large colon polyps (removed in pieces) should have follow-up colonoscopies to check for regrowth. It aims to find the best timing to keep you safe and avoid extra procedures.
This study is looking at whether routine lab tests can help find colorectal adenomas (non-cancerous polyps in the colon) earlier. If you are having a colonoscopy and are found to have such a polyp, you may join to help improve early detection.
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.
