No, according to the scientists I've heard. The increase in testing does not explain the dramatic increase in cases. There are a few hypotheses, but so far nothing concrete.

Is a 2.2% increase “dramatic”? Is it even statistically significant?

Yeah I’ve heard the same - also in contrast to the relative uselessness of early detection of prostate cancer, finding early colorectal is actually actionable and important.
