Young brain tumor patients in Japan showed no higher mobile phone ownership rates than healthy children, suggesting no clear link.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Japanese researchers analyzed mobile phone ownership among 82 young brain tumor patients (ages 6-18) and compared it to the general population. They found no difference in phone ownership rates between brain tumor patients and healthy children of the same age. The study suggests that mobile phone use was not associated with increased brain tumor risk in this young population.
