WHO: Cell Phones May Cause Cancer
Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, noted
that there could be some risk with cell phone use, but the evidence is not
strong enough to confirm the link, and needs to be researched further.

The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) yesterday
classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic
to humans, based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of
brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use.
.
In a statement issued today, cell phone manufacturer Nokia said, "It is
important to note that IARC has not classified RF fields as definitely nor
even probably carcinogenic to humans. IARC has only concluded that, based
on limited evidence, it may be possible that there could be some increased
risk for certain cancer."
.
Sony Ericsson in its statement said, "The results are consistent with the
vast majority of existing scientific research which shows no conclusive
evidence of a connection between RF EMF exposure and cancer."
.
Otis W. Brawley, M.D., chief medical officer of the American Cancer
Society, commented that the report reached reasonable conclusions, and
that its findings need to be interpreted with great care. Brawley noted
the classification means that there could be some risk, but that the
evidence is not strong enough to confirm the link, and needs to be
researched further. "The bottom line is the evidence is enough to warrant
concern, but it is not conclusive."
.
There are things people who are concerned about radiofrequency exposure
can do to limit their exposure, including using an ear piece and limiting
cell phone use, especially for children. Given that the evidence remains
uncertain, it is up to each individual to determine what changes they wish
to make, if any, after weighing the potential benefits and risks of using
a cell phone, Brawley said.
.
During the last few years, there has been mounting concern about the
possibility of adverse health effects resulting from exposure to
radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, such as those emitted by wireless
communication devices. The number of mobile phone subscriptions is
estimated at 5 billion globally.
