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.

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 how often older veterans (age 75 and older) should get a follow-up colonoscopy after having polyps removed. Researchers will review medical records and talk to patients and doctors to help create better guidelines for surveillance colonoscopies in older adults.
This study looks at the risk of new or advanced colon findings in people who had certain colon polyp results, but then did not get the recommended follow-up colonoscopy on time. It may help doctors fine-tune how urgently different patients need repeat colon checks.
This study tracks patients who had precancerous polyps (adenomas) removed from their colon to understand how often they come back and what factors affect recurrence. Your participation helps doctors improve screening and prevention strategies.
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.
