Asociación entre las radiaciones de teléfonos móviles y el riesgo tumoral en personas adultas

Abstract

Overview

The study aims to synthesize and analyze evidence from systematic reviews, case-control studies, cohort studies, and meta-analyses focusing on the possible association between mobile phone radiofrequency exposure and tumour development in adults.

Methods

• A systematic search was conducted across several databases including Scopus, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, Medline, and Cinahl.
• The search targeted articles published between January 2005 and February 2016, both in English and Spanish.
• Guidelines from the PRISMA Declaration were adhered to for quality assurance, utilizing tools like AMSTAR and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for article evaluation.

Findings

A total of 1034 studies were initially identified, from which fourteen were deemed suitable for inclusion. The findings indicate a lack of short-term association between mobile phone use and tumours. However, implications for long-term exposure (over 10 years) suggest a potential tumour risk linked to the radiofrequency emissions from mobile phones, especially with ipsilateral exposure and latency observed.

Conclusion

While the link between mobile phone radiofrequency and tumour development in humans is suggested, existing scientific evidence lacks robustness. The conclusion underscores the need for more detailed follow-up studies, which should be more rigorous, with larger participant pools and extended study durations to better understand the long-term impacts.
