Skin cancer is generally much easier to treat though than all the other internal cancers people can get from vitamin D deficiency... Also, something to think about:

I might have missed it from just quickly looking at that source, but what do they think is causing this increase of melanoma in office workers?

From other things I've read, probably vitamin D deficiency form lack of sunlight is a factor. Of course, there can be too much of a good thing too...
Intermittent sun exposure has also been blamed rather than frequent to promote tanning.
Lack of exercise and stress from indoor jobs may play a part as well in increased cancer risk in general.
