CEFALO: International Case-Control Study on the risk of brain tumors in children and adolescents

چکیده
Mobile phone use by children and adolescents has increased considerably during the last 15 years. This has resulted in public concerns about possible adverse effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields generated by these devices. So far, the risk of brain tumors due to mobile phone use has not been addressed in this age group. CEFALO is an international case-control study examining the association between mobile phone use and the risk of brain tumors in children and adolescents. The study was conducted in Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden and the main results have been published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in July 2011 (Aydin et al., JNCI, 2011).
