I don't know why your comment is being voted down, it's a reasonable one, although I disagree with parts of it.

Depending on your skin type, "Get Sun" may not be good advice, especially if you make a mistake. A single significant sunburn in your teens significantly increases your lifetime risk of getting a skin cancer, of which melanoma is just one. My wife developed melanoma and is in remission. She is fair skinned and very sun-cautious -- typically using clothing as a primary barrier with sunscreen. Like anything risk assessment and risk tolerance is key and difficult to assess.

Another factor to consider is that mortality doesn't always tell the story. Some surgical procedures introduce significant scarring. Treatment for a stage-2 melanoma will often include removing lymph nodes, which introduce other complications. Also be careful, as past diagnoses of cancers were not great. That melanoma that moved into an organ may not have been classified correctly in 1960.

Personally, my advice is go outside, dress appropriately and use a mineral-based sunscreen if you're going to be out for more than a half hour or so. Don't go swimming at solar noon. Don't tan. Wear a rash-guard at the beach. Wear a hat at the ballgame.
