COLORECTAL ADENOMA

This study tested whether a special light technology (enhanced white light endoscopy) helps doctors find more precancerous growths in the colon compared to standard colonoscopy. Over 800 adults aged 45 to 85 undergoing colonoscopy took part. The goal was to see if the enhanced li…

This study tested whether using a camera capsule (a pill you swallow) as a first test for bowel cancer screening could encourage more people to get screened and find more polyps or cancers. Over 2,000 people in Denmark took part. The goal was to see if this approach reduces the n…

This study looked at whether taking omeprazole (a heartburn drug) and low-dose aspirin together could help prevent colorectal polyps in people at high risk. Twenty-one adults with a history of multiple polyps took both pills daily for 25-45 days. Researchers collected tissue samp…

This study tested whether taking magnesium supplements could reduce the risk of colorectal cancer in people with a specific genetic makeup. Researchers gave 250 participants either magnesium or a placebo for 12 weeks and measured changes in colon tissue markers linked to cancer d…

This study investigates whether women who have completed breast cancer treatment have a higher chance of developing colorectal polyps or colon cancer. Researchers will perform screening colonoscopies in 216 asymptomatic breast cancer survivors and check for abnormal growths. The …

This study reviewed the medical records of 255 adults who had colorectal polyps removed during a colonoscopy. The goal was to find out which factors, such as how the polyp was removed or its tissue type, make it more likely to come back. Researchers also tracked any complications…

This study looked at 80 adults aged 40-60 to see if sitting for long periods slows down gut transit time and changes gut bacteria in ways that could lead to colon polyps. Participants wore activity monitors, ate blue muffins to track digestion time, and provided stool samples. Th…

This study looked at the gut bacteria of 1,757 people who had colon polyps or colorectal cancer in the past. The goal was to see if certain bacteria patterns could help predict who is at high risk for new polyps or cancer. Researchers hope this will lead to a simple, non-invasive…

This study looked at nearly 3,000 people who had non-advanced colon polyps (small, low-risk growths) found during their first screening colonoscopy. Researchers wanted to see if having more of these polyps increased the chance of developing advanced growths or cancer later. The g…

This study looked at why some people develop colorectal polyps (growths that can turn into cancer) and others do not. Researchers collected blood, urine, saliva, and tissue samples from over 8,000 adults getting a colonoscopy. They also gathered information about lifestyle and he…

This pilot study tested whether a mindfulness program could help reduce colorectal cancer risk factors in Black women aged 45-65 who live in high-crime Chicago neighborhoods and have had a colon polyp. Twenty-four women participated to see if the program was feasible and acceptab…
