Follow-up intervals after piecemeal removal of large colon polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how often people with large colon polyps (removed in pieces) should have follow-up colonoscopies to check for regrowth. It aims to find the best timing to keep you safe and avoid extra procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one large benign polyp (at least 20 mm) that was removed in sections (called piecemeal) and the edges were treated with heat to prevent regrowth.
- The polyp must not be cancerous, and you have no personal history of colorectal cancer.
- You do not have a hereditary colon polyp syndrome (like Lynch or polyposis) or inflammatory bowel disease.
- The colonoscopy was complete with good bowel preparation before the polyp removal.
- No previous attempts to remove this polyp, and the doctor was sure the removal was complete.

This study looks at people who have had colon polyps removed to see how follow-up colonoscopies help prevent future polyps or cancer. You may join if you are between 18 and 75 and have had a polyp removed at this hospital.
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 study looks at what happens after a special endoscopic procedure removes early-stage colorectal cancer. It aims to understand the risk of the cancer returning and improve follow-up care.
This study compares the timing of follow-up colonoscopies after having a large colon polyp removed in pieces (piecemeal EMR). It aims to see if a delayed follow-up is safe and effective, which could reduce the number of procedures you need.
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.
This trial tests whether people with 1–2 small, noncancerous colon polyps should get their next colonoscopy after 5 years or after 10 years. It may help reduce unnecessary procedures or find cancers earlier if the shorter interval is safer for you.
