'Cancer link' to heavy mobile use

Researchers looked at 500 Israelis who had developed the
condition and compared their mobile phone usage with 1,300 healthy
controls.
Those who had used the phone against one side of the
head for several hours a day were 50% more likely to have developed a
salivary gland tumour.
The research appeared in The American Journal of Epidemiology.

Numerous studies have focused on the risk of tumours
among those who use mobile phones, and overwhelmingly found no
increased cancer risk.
But researchers at Tel Aviv University say these have
tended to focus on brain tumours, and often did not include long-term
users.
Cancer of the salivary gland is a very rare condition.
Of the 230,000 cases of cancer diagnosed in the UK for instance
annually, only 550 relate to this area.

Dr Siegal Sadetzki, who led the research, said while
mobile phone use in Israel was much heavier than in many other parts of
the world, this gave an insight into what the long-term, cumulative
impact could be.

Precautions should be taken in order to diminish the exposure and lower the risk for health hazards Dr Siegal Sadetzki Tel Aviv University

"Compared to other studies, the amount of exposure to
radiofrequency radiation we saw here was much higher. If you like,
you're seeing what could happen elsewhere 'speeded-up' in Israel," she
said. One of the key findings of the study was that heavy
users in rural areas had an even higher risk that those in cities, due,
the team suggested, to the fact that mobile phones in areas without
strong signals need to emit more radiation to work properly.
But Dr Sadetzki stressed one study was not enough to prove a link, and that further research was needed.
Nonetheless, until more evidence became available, a
"precautionary" approach was best, she said, particularly when it comes
to children's use of mobile phones. Despite these latest findings, the largest and
longest-running investigation ever to be carried out into mobile phone
usage found no increased risk of any sort of cancer.
It followed 420,000 people in Denmark, some of whom had been using a mobile phone for as long as ten years.
There was in fact a lower incidence of cancer than
expected in a group of that size, suggesting mobile phones had no
impact on the development of tumours. Last year, the UK's Mobile Telecommunications and Health
Research Programme said that while the evidence so far was
"reassuring", there was still a need for studies to examine the very
long-term impact, and to look at the effect in children.
Ed Yong, of Cancer Research UK, said: "Mobile phones are
a relatively recent invention and new research into any possible health
risks is welcome. "However, it's important to remember that the vast
majority of studies so far have found that mobile phones do not
increase the risk of any type of cancer."

happy st.pats day
