Use of Wireless Phones and Evidence for Increased Risk of Brain Tumors

Summary of Research Paper:

Since the IARC evaluation in 2011 more studies have been published that support a causal association between RF radiation and brain and head tumors. In this supplement, an updated summary is given of case-control studies on brain and head tumors: glioma, meningioma, and acoustic neuroma. Based on case-control studies there is a consistent finding of increased risk for glioma and acoustic neuroma associated with use of mobile phones. Similar results are found for cordless phones in the Hardell group studies. The findings are less consistent for meningioma although somewhat increased risk was seen in the meta-analysis of ipsilateral (same side of head) mobile phone use.
