Reducing polyp return after large colon polyp removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing a standard way to remove large polyps from the colon and checking if it helps prevent them from coming back. It's for people who have a large non-cancerous polyp that needs to be taken out during a colonoscopy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a specific way of removing large colon polyps (called non-thermal endoscopic resection) lowers the chance that the polyp comes back. It may help people who need to have a large polyp removed during a colonoscopy.
This study compares closing the wound after removing a large colon polyp to leaving it open. The goal is to see if closing the area reduces bleeding or other problems.
This trial tests two methods for removing large, flat polyps from the colon to see which works better. It uses a cold snare (a wire loop that doesn't use heat) with or without an extra fluid lift to make removal safer and more effective.
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 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.
This trial tests whether using argon plasma coagulation (a type of heat treatment) on the edges after removing a large colon polyp helps prevent leftover tissue from growing back. It is for people who have had a large non-cancerous polyp (at least 2 cm) removed in pieces during a colonoscopy.
