There is no evidence that moderate and sensible sun exposure would increase
total cancer mortality. Actually the opposite is true as the study below
shows.

Recent Results Cancer Res. 2003;164:371-7.
Ecologic studies of solar UV-B radiation and cancer mortality rates.
Grant WB.

Solar ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation (280-320 nm) has been associated with
reduced risk of cancer of the breast, colon, ovary, and prostate, as well as
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) through the production of vitamin D in papers
extending back to 1980. Using data on the geographic distribution of cancer
mortality rates in the US, another ten cancers have been added to the list
for which UV-B/vitamin D is a risk reduction factor (Grant 2002b;
submitted). These associations persist even after additional cancer risk and
risk reduction factors such as smoking, urban or rural residence, Hispanic
heritage, poverty, dietary factors, and use of nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs are added to the analysis. As a further test of the
protective role of UV-B radiation, an ecologic study of cancer mortality
rates in Europe with UV-B radiation and dietary factors was conducted.
Inverse correlations are found for UV-B radiation for a number of cancers,
with those for bladder, breast, endometrial, ovarian, prostate, and renal
cancer, and multiple myeloma and NHL having the strongest correlations in
this and ongoing multicountry ecologic studies. These studies add further
support for the role of UV-B radiation and vitamin D in reducing the risk of
a large number of cancers. PMID: 12899536

Sun exposure might also boost surviving cancer
