Long-term Use of Mobile Phones and Risk of Intracranial Tumors
Abstract
Overview
Investigating the potential health risks linked to long-term mobile phone usage, specifically in relation to intracranial tumors.
Findings
- Analysis indicates a heightened risk of intracranial tumors with over 10 years of mobile phone usage.
- Significantly increased risks are seen with ipsilateral (same side) exposure.
- Risks include a fourfold higher risk of ipsilateral glioma and a 2.55 times increased risk of ipsilateral acoustic neuroma after 1640 hours of mobile usage.
Conclusion
The results affirm the hypothesis that long-term mobile phone use is possibly carcinogenic, as suggested by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Continued research is essential to explore this association further.
