A member asked:
What to do if i only use my cellphone, maybe, once a week, or even month. am i at risk for brain cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely.: As i discuss in my book (a cancer prevention guide for the human race), the occasional use of cell phones does not appear, at this time, to be linked to a significantly increased risk of developing brain cancer.
