View Original AbstractThis Danish study found no increased brain cancer risk from early 2000s cell phone use, but modern smartphone exposures remain inadequately studied.
Plain English Summary
Danish researchers studied 427 brain tumor patients and 822 healthy controls to see if cell phone use increases brain cancer risk. They found no increased risk for brain tumors from cell phone use, and surprisingly found a lower risk of high-grade glioma among phone users. This large population-based study suggests cell phones don't cause the brain cancers examined.
Study Details
To evaluate a possible association of glioma or meningioma with use of cellular telephones, using a nationwide population-based case-control study of incident cases of meningioma and glioma.
The authors ascertained all incident cases of glioma and meningioma diagnosed in Denmark between Sep...
There were no material socioeconomic differences between cases and controls or participants and non-...
The results do not support an association between use of cellular telephones and risk for glioma or meningioma.
