Higher serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) correlated with a reduced risk of cancer in women.
Vitamin D Deficiency May Be Associated With Increased Risk of Leukemia
People residing at higher latitudes, who are exposed to lower levels of sunlight/ultraviolet B light and have a higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, are at least twice as likely to develop leukemia than equatorial populations.
Despite Promise, Vitamin D and Calcium Do Not Reduce Colorectal Cancer Risk

No correlation found between vitamin D variations and fatal prostate cancer
Neither circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels nor common variations in vitamin D pathway genes appear to be associated with risk of fatal prostate cancer, according to recent research.
