View Original AbstractThis large Swedish study found no link between cell phone or cordless phone use and testicular cancer risk.
Plain English Summary
Swedish researchers studied 888 men with testicular cancer and 870 healthy controls to see if using cell phones or cordless phones increased cancer risk. They found no meaningful association between phone use and either type of testicular cancer (seminoma or non-seminoma), with risk estimates hovering around normal levels regardless of phone type. The study also found no connection between where men kept their phones (like trouser pockets) and cancer development.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Use of cellular and cordless telephones and risk of testicular cancer.
A case-control study on testicular cancer included use of cellular and cordless telephones. The resu...

Cryptorchidism was associated both with seminoma (OR = 4.2, CI = 2.7-6.5) and non-seminoma (OR = 3.3, CI = 2.0-5.6), but no interaction was found with the use of cellular or cordless telephones.
