Cancer is caused by cells splitting too fast. intense rays from the sun exites the cells, causing them too reproduce at an overbearing rate. It can cause cancer if sunblock is not used.
Answer: Sun block does not protect you from skin cancer, at least not melanoma. It does not filter out UVB, the 4% of the UV spectrum that causes the DNA damage, and which is also responsible for Vitamin D production. It can be argued that sunblock causes more cancer, because people spend longer periods in the sun, thinking they are safe because they are not burning.
