Polyp
MONDO:0005079A usually exophytic mass attached to the underlying tissue by a broad base or a thin stalk. Polyps can be neoplastic or non-neoplastic. Neoplastic polyps usually represent proliferations of the epithelium, and are commonly seen in the gastrointestinal tract. Polyps of the gastrointestinal tract are often called adenomas, are associated with dysplasia, and may eventually transform into carcinomas. Non-neoplastic polyps may be inflammatory, degenerative, or the result of malformations.

New drug eRapa could slow polyps in inherited colon cancer condition
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests if the drug eRapa can slow disease progression in adults with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), a condition that causes many polyps in the gut and raises cancer risk. About 168 participants will take eRapa or a placebo daily every other week. Researchers will…

Could a glass of special milk help prevent colon cancer?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study is testing whether a special milk called UNICLA-A2 can reduce inflammation and improve gut health in people at high risk for colorectal cancer who have already had polyps removed. The milk comes from cows with a specific protein type and is enriched with omega-3 and se…

Could a simple stool test replace colonoscopy for cancer surveillance?
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study compares two ways to monitor people who have had polyps removed from their colon: a fecal test that checks for blood in stool versus a standard colonoscopy. Researchers want to see if the simpler stool test is just as good at catching new cancers or high-risk polyps. A…
