Can we get breast cancer by putting mobile in bra?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be careful with that: We do not know the answer to that. However, case reports are accumulating of young women with no family history getting a diagnosis of breast cancer. Tumors were unusually located directly underneath the skin where patients placed cell phones in their bra. Although, more data is needed, I would stop the practice if this is something you do -as a preventive measure.
