Worth a read, something to be aware of..but would it be churlish of me to point out that the final paragraphing the report states:

Some limitations of the study are that researchers were not able to take into consideration individual UV exposures, such as sunbathing habits or leisure-time activities, which could influence skin cancer risk. In addition, cancer rates were self-reported by study participants, and these diagnoses were not confirmed by a check of their medical records by the researchers, according to the study.

No wiggy, not churlish but that doesn't explain why rates of all other types of cancer are also massively higher.

In my experience of flight crews, STDs and bum-diseases pose a far higher risk than cancer...
