Timing of follow-up colonoscopy after piecemeal polyp removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a large, flat colon polyp removed using a technique called 'piecemeal EMR' (removed in several pieces).
- No invasive cancer was found during the polyp removal procedure.
- Your polyp was not removed all in one piece (en bloc).
- You are able to attend follow-up colonoscopies and do not have other health issues that would prevent it.

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 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 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.
This study looks at how often colon polyps come back after colon cancer surgery and how that relates to cancer coming back. It's for people who had their colon cancer completely removed and have had a follow-up colonoscopy within a year.
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 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.
