Mobile Phone Usage Linked to Tumors
This study in Sweden found a link between mobile phone usage and acoustic neuroma.
A total of about 150 acoustic neuroma patients and 600 healthy controls participated in the sutdy. The risk of acoustic neuroma was almost doubled for persons who started to use their mobile phone at least 10 years prior to diagnosis. When the side of the head on which the phone was usually held was taken into consideration, we found that the risk of acoustic neuroma was almost four times higher on the same side as the phone was held, and virtually normal on the other side.
