Though it never seemed to slow the use of cell phones, there's been an undercurrent of worry for years that their use may cause the most common type of brain tumor -- a glioma.
Mobile phone users have little reason to worry following a study that found that cell phone use appears to have no link to the development of this kind of tumor. Researchers studied1,521 glioma patients and over 3,000 healthy patients and found no relationship between cell phone use and the cancer. There was a "borderline statistical significance," however, between those who used cell phones for more than 10 years on one side of the head, which was also on the same side of the tumor, but researchers can't say that that finding is truly meaningful.
