Comparing 3D vs standard colonoscopy for detecting polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares a new 3D colonoscopy technique with the standard colonoscopy to see which is better at finding polyps (small growths) in the colon. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, you may be able to participate and help improve detection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been advised to have a colonoscopy (for any reason).
- You do not have any health conditions that make colonoscopy unsafe (like recent heart attack, severe heart disease, or bowel inflammation).
- You do not have a family history of inherited colorectal cancer or polyposis syndromes.
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis).
- You are able to complete the colonoscopy and have good bowel prep, and you know the date of your last colonoscopy.

This trial compares two ways of looking at the inside of the colon during a follow-up colonoscopy: standard 2D imaging versus a newer 3D view. The goal is to see if the 3D method helps doctors find more polyps (small growths that can turn into cancer) so they can remove them earlier.
This study compares a new 3D colonoscopy with the standard colonoscopy to see which one finds polyps better in people who had a positive stool test (FIT). If you're 40 or older and had a positive FIT, this trial may help improve how colorectal cancer is detected.
This trial tests whether a computer-aided detection (CAD) system helps doctors find more advanced polyps during screening colonoscopies, potentially reducing the risk of these polyps turning into cancer over three years. If you are undergoing a screening colonoscopy, this study may help improve early detection and prevention.
This trial tests a 3D imaging device during colonoscopy to see if it helps find more advanced adenomas (precancerous polyps) than standard colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a diagnostic colonoscopy and haven't had colorectal cancer or polyps removed before, this study might be for you.
This study compares two methods used during colonoscopy to help find polyps in the colon. It tests whether a special light technique (linked-color imaging) or a dye spray (indigo carmine) works better for spotting adenomas, which are growths that can turn into cancer. If you are at higher risk for colorectal adenomas, this trial may help improve detection.
This study tests two different colonoscopy techniques to see which one finds more pre-cancerous polyps called serrated lesions. It may help your doctor choose the best way to screen for colon cancer during your procedure.
