View Original AbstractThis Taiwan study claims no brain cancer link to cell phones, but reports impossibly low tumor rates suggesting flawed data collection.
Plain English Summary
Taiwanese researchers tracked brain tumor rates across their entire population of 23 million people for 10 years (2000-2009) as cell phone use became widespread. They found only 4 cases of malignant brain tumors and 4 deaths during this period, with no correlation between intensive cell phone use and brain cancer rates. The study suggests that a decade of heavy cell phone adoption did not increase brain tumor incidence in Taiwan.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate The incidence rate and mortality of malignant brain tumors after 10 years of intensive cell phone use in Taiwan.
A population-based study was carried out the numbers of cell phone users were collected from the off...
According to National Cancer Registry, there were 4 incidences and 4 deaths due to malignant neoplas...
In conclusion, we do not detect any correlation between the morbidity/mortality of malignant brain tumors and cell phone use in Taiwan. We thus urge international agencies to publish only confirmatory reports with more applicable conclusions in public. This will help spare the public from unnecessary worries.
