View Original AbstractThis rigorous study found no link between mobile phone use and rare eye cancer, contradicting earlier research by the same team.
Plain English Summary
German researchers studied 459 people with uveal melanoma (a rare eye cancer) to see if mobile phone use increased their risk. They compared these cancer patients to over 1,000 control subjects and found no connection between regular mobile phone use and developing this type of eye cancer. This study contradicted the researchers' own previous findings that had suggested a link.
Study Details
We recently reported an increased risk of uveal melanoma among mobile phone users. Here, we present the results of a case–control study that assessed the association between mobile phone use and risk of uveal melanoma.
We recruited 459 uveal melanoma case patients at the University of Duisburg-Essen and matched 455 ca...
Risk of uveal melanoma was not associated with regular mobile phone use (OR = 0.7, 95% CI = 0.5 to 1...
We did not corroborate our previous results that showed an increased risk of uveal melanoma among regular mobile phone users.
