No Cell Phone-Cancer Link, Study Says
Posted on: Wednesday, 6 December 2006, 12:00 CST
A huge investigation that studied cellular phone users in Denmark for decades concluded that cell phones have no effect on the risk of cancer.
The Danish Institute of Cancer Epidemiology study followed 420,000 mobile phone users in Denmark for up to 21 years, showed cell phone users had the same chance of developing cancer as the general population, the Times of London said Wednesday.
The research, studying more than half the Danish residents who began using a cell phone between 1982 and 1995, found no increase in cancers suggested as potential hazards of cell phone use, including brain, neck and eye tumors and leukemia.
We found no evidence for an association between tumor risk and cellular telephone use among either short-term or long-term users, said lead researcher Dr. Christoffer Johansen of the Danish Institute of Cancer Epidemiology. Moreover, the narrow confidence intervals provide evidence that any large association of risk of cancer and cellular telephone use can be excluded.
The results were published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
