One of the largest and most rigorous studies ever into the alleged=20
links between cancer and the use of mobile phones has failed to find=20
any connection between the two =97 at least for the first ten years of=20
use.
According to the study, published on line by the British Journal of=20
Cancer and conducted by scientists at the world-renowned Institute of=20
Cancer Research in London, there is no link between a type of brain=20
cancer called acoustic neuroma and the number of years that mobiles=20
had been used, the time since first use, the total hours of use or the=20
total number of calls.

However, the researchers admitted there was relatively little=20
information concerning the risk of tumours after mobile use of over=20
ten years. This, they conceded, needs to be monitored.

The study also failed to establish any links between the use of older=20
analog headsets compared with newer digital versions as regards the=20
occurrence of acoustic neuromas in the brain.
