Despite the increased incidence of melanoma, does solar radiation increase overall mortality?
I had read about the Peller and Stephenson research in 1930 which stated that, even if the solar exposition increases the incidence of melanoma, it decreases the natural risk of other more lethal tumors, thus decreasing the overall mortality.
I have done my own research and, even if the origin of this debate is as old as one century, I discovered that the idea is still solid in the academic field. As an example, I report some publications I have read (the abstract or the whole, where freely available):
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32918211/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15868450/
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0959804912008854
https://aacrjournals.org/cancerres/article/1/3/191/472224/The-Relation-of-Solar-Radiation-to-Cancer
However, many professionals, including oncologists and dermatologists, state that exposure to sun rays leads to a higher risk of tumors, thus mortality, and the above studies just compare two bad habits and thus have no academic value.
I would like to know if there is a scientific consensus between the benefits and the risks of solar radiation, and if there are clearer publications on the argument.
Thank you in advance to everyone will answer my question
