Brain Tumor Rates Are Rising in the US: The Role of Cell Phone & Cordless Phone Use
Since the year 2000, the U.S. has experienced significant increases in the age-adjusted incidence rates of four head and neck tumors associated with cell phone use, including meningioma, the most common non-malignant brain tumor, and cancers of the brain (i.e., glioblastoma) and the thyroid and salivary glands.
The increase in age-adjusted incidence rates for these four tumors may be attributable to the chronic effects of mobile phone use in addition to increased exposure to other risk factors as well as improvements in diagnostic screening and reporting.
