Sugary drinks and colon cancer risk study
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how drinking sugary beverages (like soda and sweet tea) relates to colorectal cancer risk. If you're having a colonoscopy to remove large polyps, your participation could help researchers understand the link between diet and colon health.

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 a special diet can help reduce inflammation and improve gut health after a colonoscopy. It is for people who are getting a repeat colonoscopy because they've had polyps before.
