Abstract
The Potential Impact of Mobile Phone Use on Trends in Brain and CNS Tumors
Highlights
BackgroundAll case-control studies which covered >10 years of use have reported an increased risk of brain tumors from the use of mobile phones [1,2,3]
Other studies have pointed at an increasing risk of acoustic neuroma and brain cancer after several years of cell phone use [11,12], and especially so in more sparsely populated regions where the output power from cell phones generally is increased compared with that in a city region in close contact to base stations, [13,14]
The analysis of brain cancer statistics since mid 20th century in several countries gives a clear picture of a disease having a long latency time, an average of over 30 years which is consistent with another study [21]
Summary
All case-control studies which covered >10 years of use have reported an increased risk of brain tumors from the use of mobile phones [1,2,3]. Additional studies have reported increased risk of salivary gland tumors and eye cancer [15,16]. It is, well known for many cancer types, including brain cancer that it takes many years to develop initial cell damage or a cluster of cell damage sufficient to diagnose “benign” or malignant cancers in the brain. Case-control studies have reported an increased risk of brain tumors after 10 or more years of cell phone use
