ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether the overall adenoma detection rate (ADR) during a colonoscopy can be a good substitute for the screening adenoma detection rate. Essentially, researchers want to find out if measuring how well doctors find adenomas (which are growths that can sometimes turn into cancer) during colonoscopies for various reasons—like checking for cancer or monitoring existing issues—can replace the specific detection rate used for screening purposes alone.

To be part of this study, you need to be at least 50 years old and scheduled for a colonoscopy. However, certain individuals are not eligible, including those with specific family histories of colorectal cancer, certain syndromes, or other serious conditions affecting the colon. If you join the study, you can expect to undergo a routine colonoscopy, and your results will help researchers determine the best ways to detect adenomas in the future. It’s important to know that the study is currently looking for participants, and your involvement would contribute valuable information to improve colorectal health practices.
