Can carrot juice prevent colon polyps from coming back?
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether drinking carrot juice every day can lower the chance that large colon polyps or early colon cancers will come back. Researchers want to see if the nutrients in carrot juice help protect the lining of the colon.

This study tests whether a diet education program can change the balance of gut bacteria and bile acids to lower the risk of colorectal cancer in people who have had polyps removed.
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic called Clostridium Butyricum after colon polyp removal can lower the chance of polyps coming back. It is looking for people who had adenomas removed and are not already taking certain supplements or antibiotics.
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.
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine herbal granule (called Jianpi Lishi Jiedu) can help prevent polyps from coming back after you've had an advanced colon polyp removed. If you qualify, you would take the granules after your procedure and be monitored for recurrence.
This study tests whether an oral synbiotic (a probiotic plus a prebiotic) can reduce the chance that advanced colon growths come back after they were removed. It also looks at changes in stool-related bacterial “gene markers” that may signal lower risk over time.
This study tests whether taking capsules of healthy bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) can help prevent colon polyps from coming back after they have been removed. It might be an option for people who have had an adenoma polyp removed and want to reduce the chance of recurrence.
