View Original AbstractDespite exponential growth in mobile phone use since the 1980s, Denmark showed no corresponding increase in rare eye melanoma rates.
Plain English Summary
Danish researchers compared rates of eye melanoma (a rare cancer) with mobile phone usage across their entire country from the 1980s onward. Despite mobile phone subscribers increasing exponentially during this period, eye melanoma rates remained stable with no upward trend. This contradicted a German study that had suggested mobile phones might quadruple the risk of this eye cancer.

The aim of this study is to investigate Mobile phones and malignant melanoma of the eye.
We contrasted the incidence rates of this rare cancer with the number of mobile phone subscribers in...
Our study provides no support for an association between mobile phones and ocular melanoma.
