Report: Mobile Phones Do Not Increase Risk of Cancer

London -- According to a new study by the Institute of Cancer
Research, there is no evidence to suggest that mobile phones increase
the risk of cancer. The report, which included data on more than 4,000
people in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the U.K., found no
relation between the risk of acoustic neuroma and the number of years
of mobile-phone use, the time since first use, the total number of hours
of use or the total number of calls. However, the report -- part of a
larger study to be published next year -- did acknowledge that the
possibility of some ill effects after 10 years of mobile-phone use
remained open. "The results of our study suggest that there is no
substantial risk in the first decade after starting use," said Anthony
Swerdlow, senior investigator at the Institute. "Whether there are
longer-term risks remains unknown, reflecting the fact that this is a
relatively recent technology."
