Hybrid APC after polyp removal for large colon lesions
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using argon plasma coagulation (a type of heat treatment) on the edges after removing a large colon polyp helps prevent leftover tissue from growing back. It is for people who have had a large non-cancerous polyp (at least 2 cm) removed in pieces during a colonoscopy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Have a large (at least 2 cm) non-cancerous colon or rectal polyp that was removed in pieces during a colonoscopy
- The doctor confirmed all visible polyp tissue was removed before using the heat treatment
- Able to understand and sign a consent form

This trial compares two cold endoscopic techniques to remove certain large, non-cancerous colon polyps with better control of bleeding and leftover tissue. You may be offered one of the two removal methods during your scheduled colonoscopy.
This study follows patients who are having surgery to remove a specific type of flat colon growth. It aims to see how safe and effective a “selective” approach is, based on what the growth looks like and your situation.
This trial is testing a standard way to remove large polyps from the colon and checking if it helps prevent them from coming back. It's for people who have a large non-cancerous polyp that needs to be taken out during a colonoscopy.
This study tests whether a specific way of removing large colon polyps (called non-thermal endoscopic resection) lowers the chance that the polyp comes back. It may help people who need to have a large polyp removed during a colonoscopy.
This trial tests two methods for removing large, flat polyps from the colon to see which works better. It uses a cold snare (a wire loop that doesn't use heat) with or without an extra fluid lift to make removal safer and more effective.
This study compares two methods for removing larger polyps (flat growths) found during a colonoscopy. It tests if one technique works as well or better than the other for people with certain types of polyps.
