Test genetic marker tracking to find returning colon polyps
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at stool or tissue DNA changes (called mutation analysis) plus colonoscopy findings to detect whether colon polyps come back. It may help catch recurrent colorectal lesions earlier during surveillance after a large polyp was removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a colon polyp larger than 10 millimeters removed during colonoscopy
- The polyp removal method used was endoscopic removal (EPE, EMR, or ESD)
- You can sign consent for the study and for the colonoscopy plan
- You do not have a known inherited colon cancer syndrome (like FAP or HNPCC)
- You are able to have colonoscopy (no medical contraindication)
- You do not have severe, active inflammatory bowel disease or serious health problems that could prevent follow-up

This study aims to develop a tool using gut bacteria and metabolites to predict if high-risk colon polyps will come back after removal. If you are between 40 and 75 and have had certain types of colon polyps removed, you may be able to help us build better prediction methods.
This study tests if a simple blood test can detect early signs of colorectal cancer coming back after surgery to remove cancer spread in the abdomen. It may help patients avoid unnecessary treatments and catch recurrence sooner.
This study follows people who have had stomach or intestinal polyps removed during an endoscopy to see how often new polyps grow back. It helps doctors learn better ways to monitor and prevent recurrence.
This study looks for markers in stool and saliva that might indicate the presence of precancerous growths in the colon. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, you may be able to participate by providing samples beforehand.
This study looks at how certain genetic changes in tumor tissue might help doctors monitor how well treatment is working for colorectal or small intestinal cancer. By joining, you may help researchers find better ways to track the disease and guide future treatment.
This study looks at why non-cancerous growths in the colon (colorectal adenomas) come back after removal. If you've been diagnosed with one of these growths, the study will collect samples and data to better understand recurrence, which could improve future prevention and care.
