Comparing two colonoscopy methods for detecting colon polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares a newer 3D colonoscopy technique with standard colonoscopy to see which one is better at finding and evaluating polyps in the colon. If you're scheduled for a colonoscopy anyway, you may be able to participate and help doctors learn which method works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- Your doctor has already recommended you have a colonoscopy for a medical reason
- You do not have serious heart, lung, or blood vessel problems that would make colonoscopy unsafe
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)
- You can complete the full colonoscopy and have a clean colon before the procedure
- You remember approximately when your last colonoscopy was (if you've had one)

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 study looks at whether a colonoscopy “detection score” for overall abnormal growths can stand in for a more specific screening score. It may help improve how screening quality is measured during colonoscopy.
This trial tests a new camera probe that works with a standard colonoscope to take better images of the colon. It may help doctors find polyps or other issues more clearly during a routine colonoscopy.
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.
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.
