Follow-up after large polyp removal with heat treatment
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at the best timing for follow-up colonoscopies after a large (at least 20 mm) non-cancerous polyp has been removed in pieces and the edges treated with heat to prevent regrowth. It may help doctors improve surveillance recommendations for people who have had this procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a single large non-cancerous polyp (at least 20 mm) in the colon that was removed in pieces and the edges treated with heat.
- You are waiting for your first follow-up colonoscopy after this polyp removal.
- You had a complete colonoscopy with good or excellent bowel preparation in the 6 months before the polyp was removed.
- You are willing to sign a consent form.
- The removed polyp was not cancerous (no colorectal cancer with invasion into deeper layers).
- You have no personal history of colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or hereditary cancer syndromes.

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 follows patients who are having surgery to remove a specific type of flat colon growth. It aims to see how safe and effective a “selective” approach is, based on what the growth looks like and your situation.
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 observational study follows people who have large polyps in the colon or duodenum that are removed during endoscopy. It aims to understand how safe and effective this approach is, and what outcomes patients have afterward.
This study tests whether a specific way of removing large colon polyps (called non-thermal endoscopic resection) lowers the chance that the polyp comes back. It may help people who need to have a large polyp removed during a colonoscopy.
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.
