ID Number 837
Study Type Epidemiology
Model 900, 1800 MHz (CW, CDMA) mobile phone use in Korea and correlation with cancer
Details

Human cancer incidence from the medical insurance, national death record, and cancer registration databases were used in a preliminary study to assess correlations between cancer and cell phone use. The investigators found no association with brain or breast cancer, but a clear statistical correlation with thyroid cancer. However, the authors report this research as preliminary and showing no clear cause-effect relationship. Additional epidemiological studies with more control of confounding factors and a larger statistical sample are necessary.
