Mobile phones and cancer

Good news: we're not going to get cancer by using our mobile phones
after all. Well...

"Mobile phone use does not up the risk of cancer, at least in the first
10 years of use, the largest investigation to date shows.

Past studies had suggested an increased risk of acoustic neuroma - a
tumour of the nerve connecting the ear and the brain - but others did
not.

The latest Institute of Cancer Research work includes data from five
European countries and more than 4,000 people.

Expert advice is still to limit mobile phone use as a precautionary
measure."
