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.

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 looks at people who have had colon polyps removed to see how follow-up colonoscopies help prevent future polyps or cancer. You may join if you are between 18 and 75 and have had a polyp removed at this hospital.
This study looks at how often people with large colon polyps (removed in pieces) should have follow-up colonoscopies to check for regrowth. It aims to find the best timing to keep you safe and avoid extra procedures.
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 study follows people who have had stomach or intestinal polyps removed during an endoscopy to see how often new polyps grow back. It helps doctors learn better ways to monitor and prevent recurrence.
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.
