Check what happens after missed colon follow-up for colon polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at the risk of new or advanced colon findings in people who had certain colon polyp results, but then did not get the recommended follow-up colonoscopy on time. It may help doctors fine-tune how urgently different patients need repeat colon checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 45 to 80.
- You had a colonoscopy at CHUM between 2009 and 2022.
- Your first colonoscopy showed at least one serrated lesion or high-grade dysplasia (HGD).
- You did not have a follow-up colonoscopy within (or after) the recommended time window from the 2020 US guidelines.
- You do NOT have inflammatory bowel disease, hereditary colon cancer syndrome, or already have colon cancer.
- Your follow-up colonoscopy is not considered “not yet due” by the 2020 US guidelines, and you have enough life expectancy to benefit from another colon check.

This study compares two ways of checking for colorectal cancer risk after advanced polyps are removed. It may help determine whether a stool test can safely replace some colonoscopy surveillance for certain people.
This study looks at how often colon polyps come back after colon cancer surgery and how that relates to cancer coming back. It's for people who had their colon cancer completely removed and have had a follow-up colonoscopy within a year.
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 patterns of colorectal (colon and rectum) findings in people who are having a colonoscopy as part of routine care. It may help improve how doctors detect and understand colorectal cancer and related growths over time.
This study tests two different colonoscopy techniques to see which one finds more pre-cancerous polyps called serrated lesions. It may help your doctor choose the best way to screen for colon cancer during your procedure.
This observational study follows people who have large polyps in the colon or duodenum that are removed during endoscopy. It aims to understand how safe and effective this approach is, and what outcomes patients have afterward.
