Mobile phones 'do not increase cancer'RSS Feed

Mobile phone usage does not significantly increase the risk of brain cancer, research has shown.

A study, published in journal Bioelectromagnetics, found there was no increase in brain injury of participants over a nine-year period.

Authors said that there is no actual mechanism by which radio waves damage genes and that mobile phone usage is more likely to promote growth in tumours that already exist.

Lead researcher Dr Frank de Vocht said: "Our findings indicate that a causal link between cell phone use and cancer is unlikely because there is no evidence of any significant increase in the disease since their introduction and rapid proliferation."

This comes after news that a selection of experts from different fields are to discuss traumatic brain injury treatments at Arrowhead's Annual Traumatic Brain Injury Conference.

Subjects will include acute traumatic brain injury, chronic neurorehabilitation and preventing secondary damage in those with traumatic brain injury.
