Active clinical trials for "Polyps"

We hypothesize that high definition narrow band imaging (NBI) colonoscopy compared to high definition white light colonoscopy will detect an increased number of nonpolypoid (flat and depressed) colorectal neoplasm.

The purpose of this study is to compare cold snare polypectomy and cold forceps polypectomy using narrow-band imaging endoscopy for removal of diminutive colorectal polyps.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of magnifying colonoscopy with narrow band imaging.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether position changes during colonoscope withdrawal affects polyp detection rate. We hypothesize that positions change during scope withdrawal will increase polyp detection rate.

A randomized, controlled study investigating the potential benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) in the detection of colonic polyps during outpatient colonoscopy. Randomization between the use of AI and no AI is performed before the study procedure.

Deep learning technology has an increasing role in medical image applications and, recently, an artificial intelligence device has been developed and commercialized by Medtronic for identification of polyps during colonoscopy (GI-GENIUS). This kind of computer-aided detection (CADe) devices have demonstrated its ability for improving polyp detection rate (PDR) and the adenoma detection rate (ADR). However, this increase in PDR and ADR is mainly made at the expense of small polyps and non advanced adenomas. Colonoscopies after a positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT) could be the scenario with a higher prevalence of advanced lesions which could be the ideal situation for demonstrating if these CADe systems are able also to increase the detection of advanced lesions and which kind of advanced lesions are these systems able to detect. The CADILLAC study will randomize individuals within the population-based Spanish colorectal cancer screening program to receive a colonoscopy where the endoscopist is assisted by the GI-GENIUS device or to receive a standard colonoscopy. If our results are positive, that could suppose a big step forward for CADe devices, in terms of definitive demonstration of being of help for efectively identify also advanced lesions.

Accurate optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps could allow a "resect and discard" strategy based on the results of the optical biopsy. Even though intensive training for optical diagnosis, there is still wide variability in individual endoscopists to meet the PIVI thresholds. The investigators with experience of prior optical diagnosis training perform new education and drill to apply proper high confidence according to their decision time. After the education program, the investigators prospectively evaluate real-time optical biopsy analysis of polyps in 8 academic gastroenterologists.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about anatomical and pathological variants in patients with antrochoanal polyps trying to find a key to its pathogenesis Participants will have nasal endoscopic examination and CT nose and paranasal sinuses. we will compare patients with antrochoanal polyps and other patients with unilateral sinonasal disease regarding anatomical and pathological variants.

The objective of this study is to determine whether the amount or type of fungal DNA present in the nose and home environment can be correlated with the outcomes of the following quality of life (QOL) instruments: Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36) and the Sino-Nasal Outcomes Study - 20 Questions (SNOT-20).

Little is known about the prevalence of small bowel polyps in patients with sporadic Duodenal/Ampullary polyps. The investigators aim to investigate the prevalence of small bowel polyps in patients with sporadic (ie not related to FAP or PJS) duodenal/ampullary adenomas by performing small bowel capsule endoscopy and comparing the results to those acquired from a control cohort undergoing VCE for accepted indication at our centre.
