The current study found that there is possible evidence linking mobile phone use to an increased risk of tumors from a meta-analysis of low-biased case-control studies.

PMID: J Clin Oncol. 2009 Nov 20 ;27(33):5565-72. Epub 2009 Oct 13. PMID: 19826127 Abstract Title: Mobile phone use and risk of tumors: a meta-analysis. Abstract: PURPOSE: Case-control studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the association between mobile phone use and tumor risk. We investigated these associations using a meta-analysis.METHODS: We searched MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, …

In patients of this study who used cellular telephones, the tumor occurred more often on the contralateral than ipsilateral side of the head. Further efforts should focus on potentially longer induction periods.

PMID: Neurology. 2002 Apr 23 ;58(8):1304-6. PMID: 11971109 Abstract Title: Handheld cellular telephones and risk of acoustic neuroma. Abstract: The hypothesis that intracranial energy deposition from handheld cellular telephones causes acoustic neuroma was tested in an epidemiologic study of 90 patients and 86 control subjects. The relative risk was 0.9 (p = 0.07) and did …

Our data suggest that use of handheld cellular telephones is not associated with risk of brain cancer, but further studies are needed to account for longer induction periods, especially for slow-growing tumors with neuronal features.

PMID: JAMA. 2000 Dec 20 ;284(23):3001-7. PMID: 11122586 Abstract Title: Handheld cellular telephone use and risk of brain cancer. Abstract: CONTEXT: A relative paucity of data exist on the possible health effects of using cellular telephones.OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that using handheld cellular telephones is related to the risk of primary brain cancer.DESIGN AND …

These results indicate that short-term mobile phone use is unrelated to the risk of neuronal cancers. The long-term effects of mobile phones remain to be determined.

PMID: Neuroepidemiology. 2006 ;27(1):55-6. Epub 2006 Jul 3. PMID: 16825795 Abstract Title: Mobile telephones and rates of brain cancer. Abstract: The risk of most primary brain cancers including gliomas and acoustic neuromas is unrelated to the use of mobile telephones in several studies. The long-term effects of mobile phones remain to be determined. An increased …

The finding of this study can confirm the results obtained in provocative studies which indicated the role of psychological factors in electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

PMID: Bioelectromagnetics. 2007 May ;28(4):326-30. PMID: 17330851 Abstract Title: Prevalence of subjective poor health symptoms associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields among university students. Abstract: The number of people complaining about different symptoms that may be associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) has increased rapidly during past years. Students use both mobile phones and …

It seems that minor degrees of thyroid dysfunction with a compensatory rise in TSH may occur following excessive use of mobile phones.

n/a PMID: Oman Med J. 2009 Oct ;24(4):274-8. PMID: 22216380 Abstract Title: Alterations in TSH and Thyroid Hormones following Mobile Phone Use. Abstract: OBJECTIVES: In recent years, the widespread use of mobile phones has lead to a public debate about possible detrimental effects on human health. In spite of years of research, there is still …

These findings do not support an association between occupational RF exposure and brain cancers or lymphoma/leukemia, but the results are limited by the use of a qualitative exposure matrix and the relatively young age of the cohort.

PMID: Epidemiology. 2000 Mar ;11(2):118-27. PMID: 11021607 Abstract Title: Radiofrequency exposure and mortality from cancer of the brain and lymphatic/hematopoietic systems. Abstract: The proliferation of wireless communication technologies has raised public concern regarding potential health effects of radiofrequency (RF) exposures. This is the first report of findings from a large-cohort mortality study among employees of …
