Abstract

Overview

The editorial discusses the implications of 5G technology and its potential shift in health risks from brain cancers, typically associated with earlier RF technologies, to skin cancers.

Findings

• 5G technology utilizes higher frequency bands compared to previous generations.
• These higher frequencies may penetrate less deeply but could potentially increase the incidence of skin cancers due to exposure.

Conclusion

The editorial raises concerns about the safety of 5G technology, particularly the likelihood of increased skin cancer cases as a consequence of the new radiofrequency spectrum used. It strongly emphasizes the need for further research in this area to confirm these risks.
