Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether a daily supplement called SAMe can help prevent colorectal polyps (precursors to colon cancer) in 18 adults who have already had surgery for early-stage colon cancer. Participants will take SAMe for up to a year while researchers monitor for side effects and check for new polyps during follow-up colonoscopy. The main goal is to find the safest and most effective dose for future larger studies.
