Improving colonoscopy follow-up for high-risk polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study aims to understand why some people return for a follow-up colonoscopy after having high-risk colon polyps and to find ways to improve the process. It involves interviews and testing new approaches to ensure patients get the right follow-up care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new clinic program to help patients complete a colonoscopy if they received an abnormal result from a fecal immunochemical test (FIT), a simple stool test for colon cancer. It focuses on community health centers and aims to make follow-up care easier.
This trial tests a multilevel support program to help patients who had an abnormal FIT (fecal immunochemical test) result get a follow-up colonoscopy. The goal is to increase colorectal cancer screening completion.
This study looks at people who have had colon polyps removed to see how follow-up colonoscopies help prevent future polyps or cancer. You may join if you are between 18 and 75 and have had a polyp removed at this hospital.
This study tests whether a navigator and online education can help colorectal cancer survivors get the recommended follow-up tests after surgery. If you've had surgery for stage I-III colorectal cancer in the last 3 months, this program may support you in staying on track with your surveillance.
This trial compares whether a follow-up colonoscopy at 6 or 12 months is better for people who have had a large polyp (20-50 mm) removed. It will help doctors understand the best timing for surveillance.
This trial tests whether people with 1–2 small, noncancerous colon polyps should get their next colonoscopy after 5 years or after 10 years. It may help reduce unnecessary procedures or find cancers earlier if the shorter interval is safer for you.
