New camera to check the bowel after polyp or tumour removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new camera that looks at the back passage (rectum) after a polyp or tumour has been removed. It aims to see if the camera can help doctors check that the area is healing well and that no tissue was left behind.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 16 years old or older.
- You must have recently had a polyp or tumour removed from your back passage (rectum).
- The removal must have been done in a way that the doctor can easily reach the area with a small, rigid telescope.
- You must be living in the United Kingdom.
- You must be able to give your informed consent (that is, understand and agree to take part).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a newer kind of imaging (ultrasound plus light-based measurements) to help doctors tell rectal cancer apart from other tissue during surgery. You may be able to take part if you’re having surgery for rectal cancer and the tumor is close enough to the anus.
This trial uses a special MRI before treatment to better understand early rectal cancer or suspicious large polyps. It may help doctors choose care that avoids bigger surgery when possible.
This study tests a new camera system that adds texture and color enhancement to the usual white light during a colonoscopy. It aims to see if this new view helps doctors spot signs of inflammation or early cancer more clearly in people with inflammatory bowel disease.
This study looks at using a special handheld imaging tool during surgery to better check the edges (“margins”) of bowel removed for Crohn’s disease in the ileum/near the cecum. It may help surgeons ensure they remove the right tissue and potentially improve surgical planning.
This study tests two new imaging technologies used during a colonoscopy to better detect and describe growths (polyps) in the colon. This may help doctors find and remove pre-cancerous polyps more accurately during the same procedure.
This trial tests advanced imaging techniques during follow-up colonoscopy to better detect if a removed polyp has regrown. It aims to improve how doctors spot potential recurrences at the scar site.
