London: A Danish study has found there is no increased risk of brain cancer from mobile phone usage.
The biggest study to look for any connection has found no link. It followed more than 350,000 people for about a decade and says heavy cell phone users have the same cancer rates as people who don’t use cell phones.
In total, 10,729 tumours of the central nervous system were diagnosed from 1990 to 2007, but the research found little difference in the rate between non-subscribers and mobile phone users.
Scientists from the Institute of Cancer Epidemiology in Copenhagen looked at people aged at least 30 who subscribed to mobile phone.
Tumours were not related to the number of years mobile phones were used or the location where the handset is usually held to the head, the study said.
With more than five billion mobile phones already registered in the world, the debate has raged among experts on the potential link to the main types of brain tumour – glioma and meningioma
