Herbal Medicine to Prevent Colorectal Polyp Return
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal formula (Jianpi Lishi Jiedu Granules) to see if it can prevent colorectal advanced adenomas (a precancerous polyp) from coming back after they have been removed during a colonoscopy. It is recruiting people who have had such a polyp removed and whose body has a specific TCM pattern ('Spleen Deficiency and Dampness Toxin').
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
