Use of mobile phones in Norway and risk of intracranial tumours.

View Original AbstractThis Norwegian study found mobile phone users had lower brain tumor rates than non-users, contradicting cancer risk concerns.
Plain English Summary
Norwegian researchers studied 541 brain tumor patients and 358 healthy controls to see if mobile phone use increased risk of brain tumors (gliomas, meningiomas, and acoustic neuromas). They found that regular mobile phone users actually had lower odds of developing these tumors compared to non-users, with no increasing risk even after 6+ years of use. This suggests mobile phones don't increase brain tumor risk, at least for the exposure levels and time periods studied.
Study Details
To test the hypothesis that exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields from mobile phones increases the incidence of gliomas, meningiomas and acoustic neuromas in adults.
The incident cases were of patients aged 19-69 years who were diagnosed during 2001-2002 in Southern...
Detailed information about mobile phone use was collected from 289 glioma (response rate 77%), 207 m...
The results from the present study indicate that use of mobile phones is not associated with an increased risk of gliomas, meningiomas or acoustic neuromas.
