Summary
This study tests a new device called EndoTEM, which helps doctors use two instruments at once to remove large polyps from the lower colon. The goal is to see if it is safe and can remove the entire polyp in one piece. Thirty adults with large polyps or early cancer in the rectum or sigmoid colon will take part.
