I see that a couple of answers say to stay out of the sun. That still appears to be a good practice.
HOWEVER - there is developing evidence that not enough vitamin D (sunshine vitamin) may cause systemic inflammation, and then allow the body to develop cancer.
Quite a dichotomy! OK, what should you do?
The best thing to do is take vitamin D supplements, until enough research is done to determine if it is safe at all to be in the sun to get vitamin D.
Check out these web sites:

I hope you are able to use this information. It is certainly different than the usual answers, and the fact is true.

laying out in sun or being in the sunshine for long periods of time, smoking, and if you were in military during the vietnam era, you could have gotten it when they spray agent orange, by breathing it or a mist of it absorbed thru your skin

i guess staying out in the sun can cause skin cancer..or using too much sunbeds..and also smoking predisposes lung cancer.
