Special light for spotting flat precancerous growths during colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a special light mode during colonoscopy to see if it helps doctors find more flat, pre-cancerous growths (sessile serrated lesions) than the standard mode. If you are due for your first colonoscopy, this could help detect these lesions early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years old or older
- This is your first colonoscopy (you have never had one before)
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis)
- You have not had surgery on your colon
- You can stop blood-thinning medications for at least a week before the procedure

This study compares two safe methods for removing small, non-cancerous colon growths called sessile serrated lesions. It aims to see which method is more effective and has fewer complications.
This study tests whether using a special dye during a screening colonoscopy helps doctors find more precancerous growths on the right side of the colon. These growths, called sessile serrated lesions, can be hard to see, and the dye may make them easier to spot and remove early.
This study tests two new imaging technologies used during a colonoscopy to better detect and describe growths (polyps) in the colon. This may help doctors find and remove pre-cancerous polyps more accurately during the same procedure.
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 trial compares two camera light styles during screening colonoscopy to see which one better finds polyps on the right side of the colon. If you’re having a routine screening and have no concerning symptoms, the results may help improve how doctors spot polyps early.
This trial tests advanced imaging techniques during follow-up colonoscopy to better detect if a removed polyp has regrown. It aims to improve how doctors spot potential recurrences at the scar site.
