Large Study on Cell Phones and Brain Tumors Finds No Connection

Posted on December 3, 2009 by Lolita Carrico

Even though we can’t live without cell phones, news that radiation from them may cause brain tumors is a growing concern. A new, large scale study of over 60,000 people over a 30 year period found no substantial change in the occurrence of brain tumors.

Published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, this study contradicts another study that was announced — but not yet released — a couple of months ago.

The American Cancer Society says that in looking at most studies as a whole, no link between cell phones and tumor development has been found.
