Virtual Colonoscopy (VC) for Primary Colorectal Screening
Completed
- Conditions
- Colorectal Polyps
- Interventions
- Other: CTC surveillance
- Registration Number
- NCT00204867
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Wisconsin, Madison
- Brief Summary
This study involves a primary VC screening for colorectal polyps. The research hypothesis is that VC screening, including surveillance of sub-cm polyps, is a safe and effective approach.
- Detailed Description
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.

Group Intervention Description A CTC surveillance In vivo surveillance of 6-9 mm polyps detected at CTC
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The growth rate (natural history) of small colorectal polyps 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
