Delayed follow-up colonoscopy after piecemeal polyp removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares the timing of follow-up colonoscopies after having a large colon polyp removed in pieces (piecemeal EMR). It aims to see if a delayed follow-up is safe and effective, which could reduce the number of procedures you need.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having a procedure called piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection (pEMR) to remove a large polyp from your colon.
- You are able to give informed consent and follow the study's follow-up schedule.
- You do not have invasive cancer (cancer that has spread deeper) from the polyp removal.
- You are not having the polyp removed all in one piece (en bloc), and you do not need extra surgery for the polyp or complications.

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 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 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 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.
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 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.
