Comparing two ways to remove colon polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study follows patients who have a polyp removed from their colon or rectum using a minimally invasive procedure called EMR or ESD. It helps doctors learn which method works better for different types of polyps, so they can improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a procedure to remove a growth (polyp) from your colon or rectum using a technique called EMR or ESD.
- The procedure is done through a colonoscope, a thin tube with a camera, so no surgery is needed.
- You must be planning to have this procedure at a participating hospital or clinic.

This study tests a new way to remove large colon polyps to lower the chance they come back. It may help people who need a standard procedure called EMR to remove a large polyp.
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 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 study tests a new device that helps doctors remove abnormal growths, or lesions, from the colon or rectum. It aims to see if the device makes it easier to remove these growths completely and safely.
This trial compares surgery versus an endoscopic procedure for people who had a colon polyp removed but some cancer cells may still be present at the edges. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes and fewer side effects for early-stage colon cancer.
This study tests new bipolar scissors that may make removing non-cancerous or early-stage colorectal growths during a colonoscopy safer and more effective. If you're scheduled for this procedure, the new scissors could improve your outcome.
