Reducing polyp regrowth after removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to remove large colon polyps to lower the chance they come back. It may help people who need a standard procedure called EMR to remove a large polyp.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing a standard way to remove large polyps from the colon and checking if it helps prevent them from coming back. It's for people who have a large non-cancerous polyp that needs to be taken out during a colonoscopy.
This study compares closing the wound after removing a large colon polyp to leaving it open. The goal is to see if closing the area reduces bleeding or other problems.
This trial tests two methods for removing large, flat polyps from the colon to see which works better. It uses a cold snare (a wire loop that doesn't use heat) with or without an extra fluid lift to make removal safer and more effective.
This study follows patients who have a polyp removed from their colon or rectum using a minimally invasive procedure called EMR or ESD. It helps doctors learn which method works better for different types of polyps, so they can improve future care.
This trial compares two ways to remove large, flat polyps (granular type) from the colon or rectum: one that removes the polyp in one piece (endoscopic submucosal dissection) and one that removes it in pieces (endoscopic mucosal resection). The goal is to see which method has a lower chance of the polyp coming back.
This trial is for people with large (20-60 mm), non-cancerous colon growths on a wide base. It compares two endoscopic removal methods—ESD and EMR—to see which works best.
