Is it only routine screening that would help account for increases or also better detection for symptomatic individuals? Maybe more easily available blood tests or more frequent referrals for colonoscopies for those outside of typical screening groups.

Colonoscopies are invasive procedures and not without risk. Perforations can turn this "routine" procedure into a life-threatening emergency.
