Plain English Summary
Canadian researchers re-analyzed data from the large Interphone study to see if mobile phone use increases brain tumor risk, using advanced statistical methods to correct for study biases. They found that people with the heaviest phone use (more than 558 lifetime hours) had roughly double the risk of developing glioma, the most common malignant brain tumor. Even after accounting for potential errors in how people remembered their phone use and who participated in the study, this increased risk remained significant.
Study Details
We undertook a re-analysis of the Canadian data from the 13-country case-control Interphone Study (2001–2004), in which researchers evaluated the associations of mobile phone use with the risks of brain, acoustic neuroma, and parotid gland tumors.
We applied a probabilistic multiple-bias model to address possible biases simultaneously, using vali...
For glioma, when comparing those in the highest quartile of use (>558 lifetime hours) to those who w...
Adjustments for selection and recall biases did not materially affect interpretation in our results from Canadian data.
