description

Epidemiological studies which have been conducted up to date have found little evidence linking short-term mobile phone use to an increased risk of brain tumors. Some studies have shown slight increases in risk for long-term mobile phone users (>10 years). These results are however based on small numbers and need confirmation. Keywords: mobile phones; health risks; brain tumors; epidemiological studies
