Question 1

can there be real proof, anywhere that cell phones cause tumors, cancer or something else?

Accepted Answer

No: None of the studies so far have demonstrated a link with cell phone use and cancer. The main hazard is from using cell phone while being engaged in other activities, e.g., driving, walking.

Question 2

i'm on my phone a lot but i dont call a lot. does playing on the phone increase chances of tumor even if you aren't calling?

Accepted Answer

Not so clearcut: I know of the rumors of brain tumors associated with cell phone usage, but not proven at all, at this point, and if you play games on your phone, it is likely far away from your ear, anyway.  Enjoy your games, as am not aware of any risk.

Question 3

can cell phones  give you brain tumors?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: This is a medical bone of contention. I know of 1 university surgeon who claims that he removes many more acoustic neuromas than previously. Unfortunately it is still an unnown entity.

Question 4

can cell phones really cause brain tumors?

Accepted Answer

U.S.  C.D.C. says...: In the last 15 years, hundreds of research studies have investigated whether health problems can be linked to cell phone use. Some of these studies have suggested the possibility that long-term, high cell phone use may be linked to certain types of brain cancer. These studies do not establish this link definitively. Scientists  need to conduct more studies to learn more about this possible risk.

Question 6

does anyone know anything about brain tumors and effects of mobile phone?

Accepted Answer

Controversial: There are a number of studies, mostly inconclusive. My own personal opinion is that with the exceptionally large number of cell phones used all over the world if there was a significant relationship we would know it by now !?

Question 7

how can  cell phone causes brain tumor ?

Accepted Answer

Probably doesn't: Several studies have been done to study this with the thought that the magnetic field and radiation of cell phones cold cause brain tumor. So far no definite cause and effect has been proven.

Question 8

does mobile phone radiation cause brain tumors?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: There is no hard evidence but it is the subject of continuing investigation.

Question 9

i slept with my cellphone for 2 years. after i stopped using cellphone, does hypothetical risk for brain tumor still exist, if i stopped using phone?

Accepted Answer

No risk: In my opinion, the claim that there is even a "hypothetical" risk is silly. Cell phones don't produce the kind of radiation the causes cancer. If they did, the research piranhas would have demonstrated it by now -- it's how you get famous. The big study had more brain tumors on the side opposite to where the phone was held. Stop worrying over this stuff and enjoy your phone.

Question 10

can cell phones cause cancer, brain tumors, etc?

Accepted Answer

Controversial: There is very little evidence that cell phone usage causes brain tumors.  At least one large study in (i think) sweden suggested a slight increase in the frequency of tumors or the 8th (acoustic) nerve in high-use individuals, but showed no increase in other types of brain tumors, including gliomas.  Other studies have not even supported that there are more 8th nerve tumors from cell phones.
