Does using a mobile phone increase the risk of developing brain cancer? As many times as it has been asked, there is seemingly no simple answer to that question, as studies continue to produce conflicting results. But the answer may lie somewhere in the middle between a yes and a no, according to the lead researcher who is a PhD, adjunct professor of biochemistry, University of Helsinki, Finland. In an article on the Conversation , the researcher poses the intriguing question: What if both views are correct?
It could be possible that mobile phone radiation itself does not cause cancer but that long-term exposure increases the risk of developing cancer when other causes are part of the picture. This hypothesis of cocarcinogenicity may explain the apparent discrepancy that has been seen in previous studies of this issue, says the Ph.D holder. However, two experts were not convinced. IARC…
