Abstract

Overview

Concerns regarding the carcinogenic potential of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) along with 5G technology are prevalent. This review aims to clarify and assess the risks associated with RFR.

Findings

• Examination of biophysical mechanisms that could lead to cancer, focusing on how electromagnetic energy might cause DNA damage.
• Review of available epidemiological data in both humans and laboratory animals concerning radiofrequency radiation.

Conclusion

Current evidence does not support a link between RFR and cancer. However, many studies suffer from methodological flaws. Future high-quality research is required, and the influence of fringe science on public perception should not be underestimated.
