This blog post explains the problems underlying skin cancer incidence
and this
video explains why the rise in skin cancers is directly related to the increasing use of sunscreens.
Those who understand how Vitamin D synthesis is a self limiting process will be aware that by the time skin burns all the vitamin D near the skin surface will have been processed into products the body doesn't use and so isn't available to repair the damage, hence the association of excessive sun exposure with skin cancer incidence. 20~30minutes non burning full body sun exposure should provide the 5000iu your body ideally uses daily.
Cancer survival is dependent on season of diagnosis and sunlight exposure Your chance of survival is greater if you are diagnosed/treated while your vitamin d status is high.
