A member asked:
I use a wireless head set 7-8 hours a day 5 days a week and have for several years. is that related to me developing tongue cancer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Likely not: All research so far regarding wireless signals has failed to show any link between them and brain tumors. The main causes of tongue cancer are smoking, alcohol use, genetics and human papillomavirus infection.

Highly unlikely: There is no evidence even suggestive of such low-level energy causing tumors.
