Colorectal cancer deaths of people under 55 have increased by about 1% a year since the mid-2000s, the ACS said. "The youngest are doing better since the advocation of the vaccine, but there's a population sort of in their 30s that are having more cervical cancer," Annunziata said. For example, if you have Lynch syndrome , a genetic condition, your risk of developing colorectal cancer goes up by 20 to 80%. "That's a simple test that could be done in the doctor's office that can detect earlier cervical cancer or even pre-cancerous lesions that can be removed and prevent the development of cancer," she said.

So with ever more tourists cramming onto the site, the team behind the archaeological park of Pompeii have found a plan B – dispersing visitors around ancient sites that are further afield, with all-in-one tickets and shuttles laid on between the sites. A shuttle service around the sites – the Pompeii Artebus – was piloted in 2021. The ancient city was the most visited heritage site in Italy on the last “Domenica al Museo” – state-run heritage sites have free entry on the first Sunday of the month. Tickets for the ‘scattered’ site will be valid for three days, with free shuttles connecting all the sites. The Villa dei Misteri at Pompeii will also get new lighting which will better replicate the original lighting in the villa.
