6 vs 12 month follow-up after large colon polyp removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares whether a follow-up colonoscopy at 6 or 12 months is better for people who have had a large polyp (20-50 mm) removed. It will help doctors understand the best timing for surveillance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study compares having a follow-up colonoscopy sooner (6 months) versus later (18 months) after a large, flat polyp was removed in pieces. It aims to see if delaying the follow-up is still safe and effective.
This study tracks patients who had precancerous polyps (adenomas) removed from their colon to understand how often they come back and what factors affect recurrence. Your participation helps doctors improve screening and prevention strategies.
This study looks at whether polyps come back after they are removed during a routine stomach or colon scope. It may help doctors understand how often polyps return and who needs closer follow-up.
This trial tests whether people with 1–2 small, noncancerous colon polyps should get their next colonoscopy after 5 years or after 10 years. It may help reduce unnecessary procedures or find cancers earlier if the shorter interval is safer for you.
This trial looks at the best timing for follow-up colonoscopies after a large (at least 20 mm) non-cancerous polyp has been removed in pieces and the edges treated with heat to prevent regrowth. It may help doctors improve surveillance recommendations for people who have had this procedure.
