View Original AbstractThis major European study found no increased brain tumor risk in young mobile phone users, though longer-term effects remain unknown.
Plain English Summary
Researchers studied whether mobile phone use increases brain tumor risk in children and teenagers by comparing 352 young brain tumor patients with 646 healthy controls across four European countries. They found no statistically significant increase in brain tumor risk among regular mobile phone users, and importantly, no relationship between the amount of phone use and tumor development. The study suggests that mobile phone use is not causing brain tumors in young people.
Study Details
We investigated whether mobile phone use is associated with brain tumor risk among children and adolescents.

The absence of an exposure–response relationship either in terms of the amount of mobile phone use or by localization of the brain tumor argues against a causal association.
