Mobile phones ‘do not cause cancer’

SCIENTIFIC evidence is increasingly suggesting that mobile phones do not cause cancer.

A comprehensive independent review of all scientific research on the issue has found “no convincing evidence of a link” between mobile technology and brain tumours.

However, the review panel, made up of scientists from the British-based Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) — one of the world’s leading cancer research centres — said the possibility of small or long-term repercussions would only be available following a review of cancer rates in the next few years.
