There is no link between cell phone use and brain cancer, this study proves it

A new study commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) suggests there is no evidence that mobile phone use increases the risk of brain cancer. The analysis may finally provide some answers to this long-standing debate.

For years, the use of cell phones sparks an intense debate. Between studies conducted on rats exposed to radiofrequencies and discussions on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR), many wonder whether these devices could increase the risk of brain cancer. While wireless technologies are now ubiquitous, questions about their impact on health persist. We may finally have clear answers, thanks to new studies that shed crucial light on this question.

A study commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) examined 63 researches conducted in 10 countries. It includes contributions from organisations such as the Australian Radiation Protection Authority, which has analysed the impact of radio frequencies on different types of cancersincluding those of the brain in adults and children. Researchers found no significant increase in the risk of this disease, even in people who have used cell phones for more than a decade or who spend long hours on calls.

WHO concludes no link between mobile phones and cancer

This new study is in line with previous research which have not found conclusive evidence linking mobile phone use and cancer. However, experts acknowledge that the long-term effects of radiofrequency radiation remain a matter of debate. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) currently classifies radiofrequency radiation as “possibly carcinogenic.” This means that if no direct link has been establishedthe risk cannot be completely excluded.

WHO plans to publish an update of its findings at the beginning of next yearbased on the new data available. In the meantime, the researchers encourage continued study on this topic. As adoption of wireless technologies continues to grow, it is essential to remain vigilant while reassuring the public about these long-standing concerns.
