WHO review finds no link between cell phone use and risk of brain cancer
A new study commissioned by the World Health Organization has concluded that there is no confirmed link between cell phone use and an increased risk of brain cancer. Despite the widespread use of wireless technology, the study found no significant correlation between cell phone use and the incidence of brain cancer in adults or children.
The review included a review of 63 studies published between 1994 and 2022, evaluated by a team of 11 researchers from 10 countries. The researchers examined the possible effects of radiofrequency waves emitted from cell phones, as well as other sources such as TV, baby monitors and radar.
The findings indicated that cell phone use does not appear to increase the risk of several types of cancer, including brain cancer, pituitary cancer, salivary gland cancer or leukemia. The study included cancers of the brain, pituitary gland, salivary glands and leukemia, in addition to risks associated with cell phone base stations, transmitters and occupational exposure.
The WHO previously classified radiation from cell phones as “possibly carcinogenic” (class 2B), but the agency plans to reassess this classification based on the new evidence. The updated assessment is expected to be released in the first quarter of next year.
