Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer statistics in the
United States to detect any change in rates of new cases for brain cancer. If cell
phones play a role in risk for brain cancer, rates should go up, because heavy
cell phone use has been common for quite some time in the U.S. Between 1987
and 2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did not increase.

phones - and at this point we do not know that there is - it is probably very
small. But, if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can
