Cell phones have been the subject of many studies when it comes to cancers of the head. From brain tumors to eye cancer, researchers have been hard at work to see if there are any connections.
In the latest of studies, the findings show that using and talking on a cell phone doesn’t increase your chances of developing melanoma of the eye.
An earlier, smaller study of just over 100 people said there was such a connection, but this larger study of 459 subjects did not come to the same conclusion. The results of the study were published in the online issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
