A study of a new technique to examine the bowel for polyps during a bowel cancer screening test (The INWARD study)

This study is to see if it is possible to find more polyps during bowel scope screening using a new technique. It is for people who have been referred to St Mark’s Hospital in London as part of the national bowel screening programme.

Polyps are growths inside the bowel. Most bowel cancers start when a type of polyp called an adenoma becomes cancerous.
