Epidemiological evidence for an association between use of wireless phonesand tumor diseases
Pathophysiology. 2009 Mar 4. [Epub ahead of print]Hardell L, Carlberg M, Hansson Mild K.Department of Oncology, University Hospital, SE-701 85 Orebro, Sweden.During recent years there has been increasing public concern on potential cancer risks from microwave emissions fromwireless phones. We evaluated the scientific evidence for long-term mobile phone use and the association with certaintumors in case-control studies, mostly from the Hardell group in Sweden and the Interphone study group. Regarding braintumors the meta-analysis yielded for glioma odds ratio (OR)=1.0, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.9-1.1. OR increased to1.3, 95% CI=1.1-1.6 with 10 year latency period, with highest risk for ipsilateral exposure (same side as the tumorlocalisation), OR=1.9, 95% CI=1.4-2.4, lower for contralateral exposure (opposite side) OR=1.2, 95% CI=0.9-1.7.Regarding acoustic neuroma OR=1.0, 95% CI=0.8-1.1 was calculated increasing to OR=1.3, 95% CI=0.97-1.9 with 10year latency period. For ipsilateral exposure OR=1.6, 95% CI=1.1-2.4, and for contralateral exposure OR=1.2, 95%CI=0.8-1.9 were found. Regarding meningioma no consistent pattern of an increased risk was found. Concerning age,highest risk was found in the age group <20 years at time of first use of wireless phones in the studies from the Hardellgroup. For salivary gland tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and testicular cancer no consistent pattern of an associationwith use of wireless phones was found. One study on uveal melanoma yielded for probable/certain mobile phone useOR=4.2, 95% CI=1.2-14.5. One study on intratemporal facial nerve tumor was not possible to evaluate due tomethodological shortcomings. In summary our review yielded a consistent pattern of an increased risk for glioma andacousticneuroma after >10 year mobile phone use. We conclude that current standard for exposure to microwaves duringmobile phone use is not safe for long-term exposure and needs to be revised.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez/19268551Informant: Martin Weatherallhttp://omega.twoday.net/search?q=tumorhttp://omega.twoday.net/search?q=cancerhttp://omega.twoday.net/search?q=salivary+gland+tumorhttp://omega.twoday.net/search?q=gliomahttp://omega.twoday.net/search?q=melanomahttp://omega.twoday.net/search?q=lymphomahttp://omega.twoday.net/search?q=microwave+emissionshttp://omega.twoday.net/search?q=Interphonehttp://omega.twoday.net/search?q=Hardellhttp://omega.twoday.net/search?q=Carlberghttp://omega.twoday.net/search?q=Hansson+Mild
