Iam 17 years old and have talked a lot on the phone at times. a year ago, i stopped completely. does cell phone use in adolescence cause glioma and should i worry about any problems in the future?

Cell phones: Cell phones havent been around long enough to do long term studies to say what can happen in the future. As of now, there is no real evidence to suggest that cell phone usage can cause glioma or any brain cancer.

It depends,, : There have been a great deal of studies involving this topic. The majority showed no significant correlation, however there are some studies that do show an increase in the risk for cancers like gliomas in those who used mobile phones for a long time. Overall there is no definitive agreement that this occurs but it's wise to be cautious in using cell phones and not to use one side too much.

Jury still out: If you think about it, regular cell phone use by the masses and particularly by kids has only been around a little over 10 years.So if we are looking at cancer forming things, and typical cancers take several decades to happen, we really haven't had the time yet to adequately assess this question. Some early studies suggest it's possible, some don't show that link yet. Use hands-free when possible.

So far, NO proof.: I am aware of the anecdotal comments both on-line and in the alternative literature, but formal studies to date show no such link, and data reviewed by consumer's union is not convincing either. However, although the science is lacking, and I do use a cell phone also, there is a model with cigarette smoking which did take years to prove cancer link, and now many more issues. So, not sure!
