About this study

The purpose of this study is to use virtual colonoscopy screening to learn more about what happens to small colon polyps (less than 10 mm) over time. From this, we can find out whether it's safer to remove all colon polyps right away or leave the small ones in place and remove only those that grow to 10 mm or more.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Medium-sized colorectal polyps (6-9 mm)

Exclusion criteria

  • No medium-sized colorectal polyps (6-9 mm)

Treatment and study plan

CTC surveillance

Other

In vivo CTC surveillance of 6-9 mm polyp

Primary outcomes

  1. The growth rate (natural history) of small colorectal polyps

    Time frame: The outcome measure of polyp growth rate is established at the time of surveillance CTC by comparing to the baseline CTC

    Polyp growth rates are established by comparing polyp volume at the initial and surveillance CTC studies
