      The largest spike looks to be 2020-2021. That huge dip in 2020 is probably delayed screenings due to covid and the spike is making up for the delays. The generally upward trend can likely be attributed to increased screening.

      Not too sure what’s going on with the every other year bounce. Cancer doesn’t do even numbered years?

        Can the generally upward trend also be attributed to less women having kids? I know this is a factor.
