As for the melanoma, all pilots should be wearing sunscreen.
It was my understanding that there really hasn't been a large study done on pilots and cancer rates, and any info out there is based on a very narrow cross section of pilots.
Sunscreen itself can cause some forms of cancer. There are other ways to prevent/reduce risk of melanoma but it would require most of you to change your dietary habits.
