Comparing two colonoscopy methods for finding pre-cancerous polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests two different colonoscopy techniques to see which one finds more pre-cancerous polyps called serrated lesions. It may help your doctor choose the best way to screen for colon cancer during your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You are having a colonoscopy for routine screening, follow-up after a polyp, or because of symptoms like anemia or diarrhea.
- You have not had colorectal cancer, a condition that causes many polyps, or a specific polyp disorder called serrated polyposis syndrome.
- You have not had part of your colon removed or have inflammatory bowel disease.
- You do not have active bleeding, need an emergency colonoscopy, or take blood thinners that prevent full polyp removal.

This trial tests whether a computer-aided detection (AI) system helps doctors find more small growths (polyps) in the colon during a colonoscopy. This could lead to better prevention of colorectal cancer.
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—EMR (a snare with electric current) and CSP (a cold snare without current)—to see which works better for removing small, flat colon growths called sessile serrated lesions. It may help you if you have a growth found during a colonoscopy that is less than 10mm and has certain harmless features.
This study compares a newer 3D colonoscopy technique with standard colonoscopy to see which one is better at finding and evaluating polyps in the colon. If you're scheduled for a colonoscopy anyway, you may be able to participate and help doctors learn which method works best.
This trial tests a special colonoscopy imaging technique that may help doctors find more pre-cancerous polyps and miss fewer. It's for people ages 45 to 85 who are already scheduled for a routine screening colonoscopy.
This trial compares two methods for removing small grape-like polyps (less than 10mm) from the colon during a colonoscopy. The goal is to see which method works better for you.
