We've gotten pretty damn good at curing colorectal cancer (not including QOL). The 5 year survival rate for even Stage 3 (locally advanced with nearby lymph nodes) is around 70%. Stage 4 (other organ involvement) is still basically a death sentence, but most people are in their doctor's office long before then. All this to say, there is going to be diminishing returns for any new treatment or early diagnosis.
