Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study
designed to determine whether cell
phones increase the risk of head and
neck cancer. A report published in the
International Journal of Epidemiology
(June, 2010) compared cell phone usage for
more than 5,000 people with brain tumors
(glioma and meningioma) and a similar
number of healthy controls.
Results of this study did NOT show that cell
phones caused brain cancer. In this study,
most people had no increased risk of brain
cancer from using cell phones. For people
with the heaviest use of cell phones (an
average of more than ½ hour per day, every
day, for over 10 years) the study suggested
a slight increase in brain cancer. However,
the authors determined that biases
and errors prevented any conclusions
being drawn from this data. Additional
