A new study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology suggests that Vitamin D levels are linked to the rate and amount of melanoma development. Specifically, people with low levels of Vitamin D get more frequent melanoma lesions and the lesions are thicker and more virulent.

In fact human trials are just starting for vaccines with four different companies testing vaccines. The tests and approvals have been fast tracked in [...]
