Smartphone Use Does Not Increase Brain Cancer Risk, WHO Says




The World Health Organization (WHO) has analyzed the research and concluded that there is no link between smartphone use and brain cancer as reported by . Concerns about radiation from mobile devices have been around for decades, and in 2011 the WHO's cancer division classified it as possibly carcinogenic. 
However, a recent study reviewing research from as far back as 1994 found no connection between cell phone usage and cancer, even in heavy users. The incidence of brain cancers has not increased despite the explosion in wireless technology use.
An international team of 11 researchers examined 63 studies from 1994 to 2022 and determined that while wireless technology use has skyrocketed, the rates of related cancers have not risen accordingly. This was true even for people who had been using mobile phones for over 10 years or made frequent lengthy calls.
The review author, a cancer epidemiology professor, stated that none of the key research questions showed elevated cancer risks. Previous statements from the WHO and other health organizations have indicated insufficient evidence to conclude mobile phone radiation is a health risk, though they have called for further study.
In a separate statistic, the WHO reported that cardiovascular diseases kill 10,000 Europeans daily.
