Understanding why colorectal polyps return after removal
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study follows people who have had colorectal adenomas (precancerous polyps) removed to understand why some come back. It uses advanced tests on blood and tissue samples to find clues that could help prevent recurrence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a colorectal adenoma (a type of polyp) found during a colonoscopy and confirmed by a biopsy.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 2 weeks.
- You do not have a condition called familial adenomatous polyposis (a genetic disorder causing many polyps).
- You do not follow a special diet like being vegetarian, having alcohol use disorder, binge eating, or anorexia.

This study looks at whether polyps come back after they are removed during a routine stomach or colon scope. It may help doctors understand how often polyps return and who needs closer follow-up.
This study aims to develop a tool using gut bacteria and metabolites to predict if high-risk colon polyps will come back after removal. If you are between 40 and 75 and have had certain types of colon polyps removed, you may be able to help us build better prediction methods.
This study tracks patients who had precancerous polyps (adenomas) removed from their colon to understand how often they come back and what factors affect recurrence. Your participation helps doctors improve screening and prevention strategies.
This study looks at how often colon polyps come back after colon cancer surgery and how that relates to cancer coming back. It's for people who had their colon cancer completely removed and have had a follow-up colonoscopy within a year.
This study tests whether taking capsules of healthy bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) can help prevent colon polyps from coming back after they have been removed. It might be an option for people who have had an adenoma polyp removed and want to reduce the chance of recurrence.
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').
