About this trial

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy globally. Sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) account for 15-30% of CRC via the serrated pathway. Accurate SSL diagnosis relies on basal crypt features, which are often obscured by specimen curling during standard formalin fixation, leading to underdiagnosis. A novel polyp pretreatment device mechanically maintains mucosal flatness, ensuring vertical sectioning relative to the muscularis mucosae. This randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled trial evaluates whether the device improves SSL diagnostic rate and section orientation in sessile colorectal polyps.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients undergoing colonoscopic polypectomy (≤3 lesions if multiple).

Sessile/flat polyps (Paris 0-Is,0-IIa, 0-IIb, 0-IIc) resected by snare or EMR with intact specimens.

Signed informed consent.

Disqualifiers

Refusal or lack of informed consent.

Polyp size ≥25 mm or fragmented resection.

Severe specimen damage/cautery artifact or time from resection to fixation >30 min.

Suspected/confirmed CRC, IBD, or polyposis syndromes.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Polyp Pretreatment Device

    Device

    This novel polyp pretreatment device is a single-use, non-invasive laboratory tool designed to standardize the orientation and fixation of resected colorectal polyp specimens. The device consists of a flat, rigid base with a transparent, non-adherent cover, and is engineered to maintain the mucosal surface of the polyp specimen flat and fully extended.
