Hope not: Brain cancer rates have been rare, stayed rare, and don't seem to be going anywhere. So.... you can have all the risks for it you want, cell phones, blood pressure drugs, TV towers, etc. The exposure to these have skyrocketed over the last 30 years, the amount of brain cancer stays about the same... they cannot do very much.
