Cell phones increase the risk of brain cancer?

According to an November issue of the journal Surgical Neurology, many studies need to be done immediately to determine the possibility of using a cell phone that may increase the risk of brain cancer.

Recent studies have raised questions about long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields (ELF) from cell phones that may increase the risk of brain cancer, and other tumors in the menstrual system, according to the article. by Dr. Ron Pawl, neurosurgeon at Lake Forest Hospital, Lake Forest, Ill. He called for collaboration between research programs to determine the link between cell phones and brain cancer.

Scientists have long been interested in the possibility of exposure to ELF that may increase the risk of brain cancer.However, so far, research has not shown a clear link between the use of cell phones and brain tumors.

A Swedish research group published an epidemiological study that found that using mobile phones for 10 years or longer increases the risk of gliomas as well as auditory neuromas (neuromas ). Brain tumors often develop towards the used cell phones. Other studies also suggest that the use of household wireless phone devices also carries the same risk.

After reviewing the evidence, an author states that long-term use of cell phones is even 'dangerous to health than smoking'. Some critics also agree.

These are the findings that worry about the exponential growth of mobile phones - which are widely used by teenagers.The consequences of ELF, if any, may be more dangerous for the developing brain.

If the relationship is true, the rate of brain cancer has increased over the past two decades. Some studies report that the incidence of cancer actually increases, especially for malignant brain cancer. However, some other studies show that the rate of brain tumors remains stable.

Some critics argue that the increase in brain cancer reflects the use of complex imaging technologies such as X-rays and magnetic resonance. Dr. Pawl writes: 'However, due to the fact that gliomas, especially malignant cases, are elevated, urgent actions need to be taken'.

The problem is that no research group has done actual research to show a clear link between brain tumors and ELF. He called on the scientific community to design and carry out studies to determine a clear link between brain cancer and exposure to ELF, especially from cell phones. Dr. Pawl said: 'It seems that the cooperative efforts of the scientific community and the government apparatus are essential. Key measures need to be taken before the seriousness and complexity of the situation. '
