Fecal test vs. colonoscopy follow-up after polyp removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares using a simple stool test (FIT) versus a repeat colonoscopy to check for new polyps in people who have already had an advanced adenoma removed. It aims to see if the stool test is a safe and effective alternative for routine follow-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a high-quality colonoscopy that was complete and the doctor cleaned your colon well.
- At least one advanced adenoma (a certain type of polyp) was found and completely removed.
- All polyps were removed during your colonoscopy, leaving a clean colon.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

This study compares two ways to check for colon polyps in older adults: using a stool test versus having a colonoscopy. It may help find a simpler option if you only had a small number of lower-risk polyps before.
This trial compares a new, more frequent surveillance schedule (yearly stool tests and colonoscopies every 2 years) to the standard schedule for people who have had advanced polyps removed. It aims to see if the extra testing helps prevent future colon cancer.
This trial tests whether a stool blood test can help decide who truly needs a follow-up colonoscopy after prior colon polyps. It may reduce unnecessary colonoscopies while still catching concerning changes early.
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 checks stool samples to see how well stool tests can detect early colon cancer and precancerous growths called adenomas. If you qualify, you’ll collect stool samples for a lab test (FIT) and sometimes this helps sort who should get follow-up testing.
This trial is testing whether a simple stool test (FIT) can replace some follow-up colonoscopies or CT scans for people who have been treated for colorectal cancer. If you are due for a routine check-up after your cancer surgery, you may be able to take this test at home instead of having a more invasive procedure.
