Such were the result of a study conducted in five Northern European countries, appearing in the January 19 online version of the International Journal of Cancer.

• Regular use of a mobile phone, duration of use, or the cumulative number of calls had no effect on the risk.
• The only indication of a potential effect was found among mobile phone users who had used a mobile phone for at least 10 years. They were found to have a slightly increased risk of a tumour on the side of the head on which they held the phone.

Anssi Auvinen, Research Professor at the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority:

“Even though the results do not indicate that mobile phone use increases the risk of cancer, we need more research data on long-term use.”

I’m not sure if I should be worried or not. But I guess we have to keep note that it’s not mobile phone use alone that would contribute to the development of brain cancers.
