Colon polyp count linked to future cancer risk, study finds
NCT ID NCT07302139
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 goal is to help doctors decide how often patients need follow-up colonoscopies.
