Mouth bacteria and colon polyps study
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at the bacteria in your mouth and how they might be linked to colon polyps. Researchers want to see if certain mouth bacteria affect the body's immune system and increase the risk of polyps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a computer-assisted system can help doctors better tell apart harmless and harmful small polyps found during a colonoscopy, possibly reducing the need for removing them. If you are having a colonoscopy and have small polyps, this may help guide your treatment.
This study tracks how colorectal polyps develop in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a genetic condition that causes many polyps. It aims to better understand and possibly prevent cancer, without immediate surgery.
This study looks at how certain chemical changes in your genes may affect colon polyps. It may help doctors understand why some polyps become cancer and improve prevention.
This study looks at how bacteria and your environment might affect polyp growth in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) after colon removal. By collecting stool samples and medical information, researchers hope to find ways to reduce polyp risk.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and immune activity differ in normal, pre-cancer, and cancer colon tissue. It may help researchers understand what changes in the body are linked to colon growth and how they could be targeted in the future.
This study aims to develop a tool using gut bacteria and metabolites to predict if high-risk colon polyps will come back after removal. If you are between 40 and 75 and have had certain types of colon polyps removed, you may be able to help us build better prediction methods.
