Just heard a live webcast by Dr. Norton from the Memorial Sloan Kettering. As you know, the MSK and Dr. N. are not big on alternative therapies, being a main stream medical institution, supporting more traditional pharmaceutical treatments. However, he did state in his webcast that vitamin D3 is a supplement that he recommends daily at a dose of 2000 IU for cancer prevention.

PS. I've been taking about 1200 IU a day and will be increasing to 2000 IU, as Dr. Norton suggests.
