A member asked:

Can cellphone use cause cancer in a toddler?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I am of the opinion that radiation from cell phones held against the head as well as other parts of the body for lengthy periods can cause malignancy. Many are concerned about glioblastoma of the brain in longterm cell phone users.

I use my cell phone for about 8 hours a day it gets scorching hot. Can this cause skin cancer or increase amount of radiation I get from it? Also if it continually searches for signal can this increase brain cancer risk?
