Comparing two methods to remove small colon polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two removal methods for small, stalked colon polyps (less than 10mm). The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective, which may help reduce the risk of colon cancer.

This study compares two safe methods for removing small, non-cancerous colon growths called sessile serrated lesions. It aims to see which method is more effective and has fewer complications.
This study compares two ways of removing small colon polyps (4–9 mm) that stick out like mushrooms. Both methods use a snare during a colonoscopy; one uses cold (without heat) and the other uses heat (cautery). The goal is to see which is safer and more effective for removing these polyps.
This study compares two methods for removing larger polyps (flat growths) found during a colonoscopy. It tests if one technique works as well or better than the other for people with certain types of polyps.
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 trial compares two common techniques for removing small polyps (less than 10 millimeters) during a colonoscopy: a cold snare (a wire loop) and cold forceps (a grasping tool). The goal is to find out which method is safer and more effective at completely removing these small growths to help prevent colon cancer.
This trial is for people with large (20-60 mm), non-cancerous colon growths on a wide base. It compares two endoscopic removal methods—ESD and EMR—to see which works best.
