Mobile phones do not increase risk of glioma...
Mobile phones are not associated with a raised risk of glioma in the short or medium term. In the UK part of an international study of mobile phone use and intracranial tumours, Hepworth and colleagues (p 883) conducted a case-control study that included interviews with almost 1000 patients with a glioma. They found an odds ratio of 0.94 (95% confidence interval 0.78 to 1.13) for glioma for regular phone users compared with those who never or only occasionally used one. Nor was there an association of glioma risk with lifetime years of use, cumulative hours of use, or cumulative numbers of calls.
