Myth dismantled after 30 years: about cell phones and cancer

Researchers have studied for three decades, gathering data between 1982 and 2013, and showed that there is no correlation between cell phone use and cancers.

This research study took longer than usual because he tried to answer the question if wireless phones are healthy or not, whether or not increase cancer risk.

The study was a slight increase in cancer rates in men, but women were also recorded increases.

"We have not detected any increase in the incidence of brain cancer compared with the strong growth of mobile phone use," write the researchers report in the journal Cancer Epidemiology.
Although there was an observed increase in cancer rates in study participants aged between 70 and 84 years, during the time in question, it is important to emphasize that the disease has begun to develop before exponents start use mobile phones.
A total of 19 858 cases were examined men and 14.222 women. The statistics used by researchers in this study show that using a mobile phone in Australia began in 1987 and has grown by over 90 percent in the last 29 years.
According to principal investigator, Simon Chapman, extended monitoring period allows researchers to be more certain of the findings and say that there is a "period of delay" between an increased use smartphoane sites and increased cancer rates.
