Diet education to lower colon cancer risk after polyp removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a diet education program can change the balance of gut bacteria and bile acids to lower the risk of colorectal cancer in people who have had polyps removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether taking a probiotic called Clostridium Butyricum after colon polyp removal can lower the chance of polyps coming back. It is looking for people who had adenomas removed and are not already taking certain supplements or antibiotics.
This study tests whether taking capsules of healthy bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) can help prevent colon polyps from coming back after they have been removed. It might be an option for people who have had an adenoma polyp removed and want to reduce the chance of recurrence.
This study looks at how certain chemical changes in your genes may affect colon polyps. It may help doctors understand why some polyps become cancer and improve prevention.
This study aims to develop a tool using gut bacteria and metabolites to predict if high-risk colon polyps will come back after removal. If you are between 40 and 75 and have had certain types of colon polyps removed, you may be able to help us build better prediction methods.
This study is looking at whether routine lab tests can help find colorectal adenomas (non-cancerous polyps in the colon) earlier. If you are having a colonoscopy and are found to have such a polyp, you may join to help improve early detection.
This trial compares two ways of preparing for a colonoscopy: using a prepackaged low-residue diet versus getting personal guidance on what to eat. The goal is to see which approach leads to a cleaner colon, which can make the procedure more effective.
