New study tracks polyp return rates to improve Follow-Up care
NCT ID NCT07314554
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how often polyps in the stomach or colon grow back after being removed during a scope procedure. Researchers will follow about 2,000 adults for up to three years to track recurrence and identify risk factors like polyp size, lifestyle, and health history. The goal is to create a simple tool that helps doctors decide how often patients need follow-up exams.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients (≥18 years) who underwent complete endoscopic resection of gastric or intestinal polyps at our tertiary referral center. This includes two cohorts: (1) Retrospective cohort: patients treated from 2021-2022 with existing follow-up data; (2) Prospective cohort: newly enrolled patients from 2024-2025. Eligible participants must have pathologically confirmed polyps (adenomatous, hyperplastic, inflammatory, fundic gland, serrated, or hamartomatous) with negative resection margins. The population represents a diverse group with varying polyp characteristics (size range: \<5mm to \>20mm; single or multiple polyps; gastric or colorectal locations) and different resection methods (EMR, ESD, snare polypectomy). Excluded are patients with hereditary polyposis syndromes, inflammatory bowel disease, prior gastrointestinal malignancy, or cancer detected at initial resection.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older * First-time endoscopic examination (gastroscopy or colonoscopy) at the study center * Pathologically confirmed polyp of any type (adenomatous, hyperplastic, inflammatory, fundic gland polyp, hamartomatous, serrated lesion) * Complete endoscopic resection performed (including EMR, ESD, snare polypectomy, hot biopsy forceps, or argon plasma coagulation) * Negative resection margins or complete resection assessed by pathology * At least one follow-up endoscopic examination completed (for retrospective cohort) or willingness to complete follow-up (for prospective cohort) * Complete baseline clinical data available Exclusion Criteria: * Hereditary polyposis syndromes (familial adenomatous polyposis, Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, juvenile polyposis syndrome) * Inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease) * Previous history of gastric or colorectal cancer * Cancer detected at initial resection (stage T1b or higher) * Non-polyp pathology (e.g., submucosal tumors, normal mucosa) * Incomplete resection with positive margins that were not re-treated * Lost to follow-up with no available surveillance data (for retrospective cohort) * Pregnancy at time of enrollment * Inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent (for prospective cohort)
