3D vs. 2D colonoscopy for better polyp detection
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of looking at the inside of the colon during a follow-up colonoscopy: standard 2D imaging versus a newer 3D view. The goal is to see if the 3D method helps doctors find more polyps (small growths that can turn into cancer) so they can remove them earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years old or older.
- You had a colonoscopy with polyp removal more than 1 year ago.
- Your doctor says you need a follow-up (surveillance) colonoscopy.
- You do not have a serious health condition that makes colonoscopy risky.
- You do not have a hereditary condition that causes many polyps (like FAP).
- You have not had your colon removed, and you do not have inflammatory bowel disease.

This study compares a new 3D colonoscopy with the standard colonoscopy to see which one finds polyps better in people who had a positive stool test (FIT). If you're 40 or older and had a positive FIT, this trial may help improve how colorectal cancer is detected.
This study compares a new 3D colonoscopy technique with the standard colonoscopy to see which is better at finding polyps (small growths) in the colon. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, you may be able to participate and help improve detection.
This trial tests whether a computer-aided detection (CAD) system helps doctors find more advanced polyps during screening colonoscopies, potentially reducing the risk of these polyps turning into cancer over three years. If you are undergoing a screening colonoscopy, this study may help improve early detection and prevention.
This study compares two methods used during colonoscopy to help find polyps in the colon. It tests whether a special light technique (linked-color imaging) or a dye spray (indigo carmine) works better for spotting adenomas, which are growths that can turn into cancer. If you are at higher risk for colorectal adenomas, this trial may help improve detection.
This trial tests a 3D imaging device during colonoscopy to see if it helps find more advanced adenomas (precancerous polyps) than standard colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a diagnostic colonoscopy and haven't had colorectal cancer or polyps removed before, this study might be for you.
This study looks at two different methods for removing large colon polyps to see which one better prevents polyps from coming back. It may help people who have a non-cancerous, flat polyp that is at least 20 mm wide.
