View Original AbstractBrain tumors in mobile phone users showed no pattern of occurring on the side where phones are typically held.
Plain English Summary
Irish researchers studied 73 brain tumor patients to see if mobile phone users developed tumors on the same side of their head where they held their phone. They compared 50 mobile phone users with 23 non-users and found no pattern linking phone use to tumor location. This suggests that if mobile phones cause brain tumors, the effect isn't simply related to which side of the head receives the most radiation exposure.
Study Details
We analysed the association between mobile phone use and the anatomical distribution of glial brain tumours in Irish neurosurgical patients.
All patients with unilateral histologically proven glioma were enrolled over a 12 month period. We h...
Fifty mobile phone users and twenty three non-users were identified. The vast majority of patients (...
