Cellular and cordless telephones and the risk for brain tumours

Use of analogue cellular telephones gave an increased risk for brain tumours and exposure to microwaves and the risk was increased for tumours located in the temporal area on the same side of the brain that was used during phone calls; for analogue cellulartelephones the OR was 2.5 (95% CI 1.3–4.9).

Long-term use of cellular phones and brain tumours: increased risk associated with use for ⩾10 years

Results from present studies on use of mobile phones for ⩾10 years give a consistent pattern of increased risk for acoustic neuroma and glioma, the risk is highest for ipsilateral exposure.

MOBILE TELEPHONES AND CANCER—A REVIEW OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL EVIDENCE

All studies approaching reasonable latencies found an increased cancer risk associated with mobile phone use, and there is evidence for enhanced cancer risk with increasing latency and duration of mobile phone Use.

Case-control study of the association between malignant brain tumours diagnosed between 2007 and 2009 and mobile and cordless phone use

Results confirmed previous results of an association between mobile and cordless phone use and malignant brain tumours and provide support for the hypothesis that RF-EMFs play a role both in the initiation and promotion stages of carcinogenesis.

Further aspects on cellular and cordless telephones and brain tumours.

There was a tendency of a shorter tumour induction period for ipsilateral exposure to microwaves than for contralateral, which may indicate a tumour promotor effect.

Case-control study on the use of cellular and cordless phones and the risk for malignant brain tumours

The ipsilateral use of an analogue cellular phone yielded a significantly increased risk for malignant brain tumours, and this risk was significantly increased in the analysis of ipsilaterally exposure.

Intracellular calcium oscillations in a T-cell line after exposure to extremely-low-frequency magnetic fields with variable frequencies and flux densities.

It is suggested that MF influence molecular events in regular signal transduction pathways of T cells on the basis of the characteristic calcium pattern resulting from an applied MF.

Ionizing radiation, cellular telephones and the risk for brain tumours

A case–control study on brain tumours included 233 patients aged 20–80 years and alive at the study time who had histopathologically verified brain tumour and lived in the Uppsala-Örebro region or the Stockholm region and two matched controls to each case.
