• The epidemiology of vitamin D and cancer incidence and mortality: A review (United States) (2005, background): “More recently, Grant has demonstrated that geographical mortality rates of numerous other cancers are associated inversely with regional UV-B radiation exposure [8].”
• Resurrection of vitamin D deficiency and rickets. (2006, neutral): “It has been suggested that maintenance of a 25(OH)D level greater than 20 ng/ml reduces risk of colon, prostate, breast, and ovarian cancer by as much as 30–50% (24, 97–99).”
• Sunlight and vitamin D for bone health and prevention of autoimmune diseases, cancers, and cardiovascular disease. (2004, positive): “He also reported that both men and women with more sun exposure were less likely to die prematurely as a result of cancer (102, 104).”
• Vitamin D for Health: A Global Perspective (2013, neutral): “He calculated that in a span of 24 years (1970-1994), 566,400 Americans died of cancer because of inadequate exposure to solar UV-B radiation.(120,134-136) He also estimated that 50,000 to 63,000 Americans and 19,000 to 25,000 British citizens in the United Kingdom die prematurely of cancer each yea”

• Unexpected actions of vitamin D: new perspectives on the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity (2008, result): “These observations are also consistent with data showing geographical variations in mortality from common cancers, which show a greater risk of death at higher latitudes where levels of sunlight-derived vitamin D in the body are diminished”
• Estimation of optimal serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D for multiple health outcomes. (2006, background): “rates rise with increasing distance from the equator (89, 90).”
• Vitamin D deficiency: a worldwide problem with health consequences. (2008, background): “It has been suggested that adults with 25(OH)D of 50 nmol/L who were then followed for up to 19 y had a 30–50% increased risk of developing colorectal, breast, prostate, and many other cancers (50, 52, 54, 55).”
