Re: "cellular telephone use and risk of acoustic neuroma".
RE: " CELLULAR TELEPHONE USE AND RISK OF ACOUSTIC NEUROMA " Christensen et al. (1) recently presented results on the use of cellular telephones and the risk for acoustic neuroma. However, in our opinion, several issues need to be clarified in the paper. Our main concern is that the study did not take into account exposures from cordless phones, and associations specific for ever use of analog o...
متن کاملCellular telephone use and risk of acoustic neuroma.
Despite limited evidence, cellular telephones have been claimed to cause cancer, especially in the brain. In this Danish study, the authors examined the possible association between use of cellular telephones and development of acoustic neuroma. Between 2000 and 2002, they ascertained 106 incident cases and matched these persons with 212 randomly sampled, population-based controls on age and se...
متن کاملHandheld cellular telephones and risk of acoustic neuroma.
The hypothesis that intracranial energy deposition from handheld cellular telephones causes acoustic neuroma was tested in an epidemiologic study of 90 patients and 86 control subjects. The relative risk was 0.9 (p = 0.07) and did not vary significantly by the frequency, duration, and lifetime hours of use. In patients who used cellular telephones, the tumor occurred more often on the contralat...
متن کاملLong-term and frequent cellular phone use and risk of acoustic neuroma.
Human exposure to radio frequency radiation has increased dramatically during recent years from widespread use of mobile phones, and in some studies this exposure has been linked to the development of acoustic neuroma. The aim of our study was to describe the epidemiology of acoustic neuroma in a newly developed country, Qatar. We reviewed all cases of acoustic neuroma registered at the Hamad M...
متن کاملMobile phone use and the risk of acoustic neuroma.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency exposure from mobile phones is concentrated to the tissue closest to the handset, which includes the auditory nerve. If this type of exposure increases tumor risk, acoustic neuroma would be a potential concern. METHODS In this population-based case-control study we identified all cases age 20 to 69 years diagnosed with acoustic neuroma during 1999 to 2002 in certain ...
