Comparing two ways to remove flat colon growths under 10mm
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests two methods—EMR (a snare with electric current) and CSP (a cold snare without current)—to see which works better for removing small, flat colon growths called sessile serrated lesions. It may help you if you have a growth found during a colonoscopy that is less than 10mm and has certain harmless features.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 35 and 75 years old
- You have a small flat growth in your colon less than 10mm that looks like a harmless type (sessile serrated lesion)
- You have no signs of cancer or severe abnormal cells in the growth
- You are not taking blood-thinning medications like warfarin or clopidogrel
- You do not have hereditary colon cancer syndromes or inflammatory bowel disease

This trial compares two methods for removing small grape-like polyps (less than 10mm) from the colon during a colonoscopy. The goal is to see which method works better for you.
This study compares two ways to remove large, stalked polyps in the colon. One method uses water to lift the polyp before cutting it, and the other uses a small metal clip and a hot snare. The goal is to find which technique is safer and more effective.
This study compares two methods for removing larger polyps (flat growths) found during a colonoscopy. It tests if one technique works as well or better than the other for people with certain types of polyps.
This trial is for people with large (20-60 mm), non-cancerous colon growths on a wide base. It compares two endoscopic removal methods—ESD and EMR—to see which works best.
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 study compares two endoscopy techniques to remove large, flat-looking colon polyps. It aims to see which method removes the polyp more completely and safely.
