Cellular telephone use and risk of acoustic neuroma
Christensen HC , Schüz J, Kosteljanetz M, Poulsen HS, Thomsen J, Johansen J. · 2004
View Original AbstractThis Danish study found no increased risk of acoustic neuroma brain tumors from cell phone use, even after 10+ years of regular use.
Plain English Summary
Danish researchers studied 106 people with acoustic neuroma (a non-cancerous brain tumor near the ear) and 212 healthy controls to see if cell phone use increased tumor risk. They found no increased risk of developing these tumors, even among people who used cell phones for 10 years or more. Importantly, tumors didn't occur more often on the side of the head where people typically held their phones.
Study Details
In this Danish study, the authors examined the possible association between use of cellular telephones and development of acoustic neuroma.
Between 2000 and 2002, they ascertained 106 incident cases and matched these persons with 212 random...
The overall estimated relative risk of acoustic neuroma was 0.90 (95% confidence interval: 0.51, 1.5...
The results of this prospective, population-based, nationwide study, which included a large number of long-term users of cellular telephones, do not support an association between cell phone use and risk of acoustic neuroma.
