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 study tests whether using a special dye during a screening colonoscopy helps doctors find more precancerous growths on the right side of the colon. These growths, called sessile serrated lesions, can be hard to see, and the dye may make them easier to spot and remove early.
This study tests whether a computer system that helps doctors see during a colonoscopy can find more small growths (called adenomas) in the colon. If you are already having a colonoscopy, this might help find and remove growths that could become cancer.
This study looks at people who had certain types of colon polyps (called serrated polyps) removed. It tries to see if these polyps are linked to new or more advanced polyps or cancer in the future, so you might get more tailored follow-up care.
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 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 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.
