First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study tests whether burning the edges of the spot where a large colon polyp was removed can stop new polyps from growing there. About 752 adults with large, flat polyps will either get standard removal alone or removal plus heat treatment. Researchers will check for polyp return at 6 and 18 months, and track any side effects like bleeding.
