Model		Mobile phone exposure and correlations with brain tumors - META analysis of prior studies
Details		A meta analysis with co-authors Kundi, Hardell, and others looked specifically at 10+ yr ipsilateral data from Hardell et al and several interphone sites, and reported an OR = 1.9; 95% CI = 1.4-2.4 for 10+yr ipsilateral glioma, OR = 1.6; 95% CI = 1.1-2.4 for 10+yr ipsilateral acoustic neuroma, and an OR = 1.3; 95% CI = 0.9-1.8 - 10+yr for ipsilateral meningioma. They emphasize the need for further evaluation regarding the possible effects on young individuals who may use wireless technology for a longer period of time throughout their lives.
