If cell phones really cause cancer how long &/or how much use does it take?

Answer 1

cell phones emitts radiation just like when you are connecting wireless on a laptops. but cell phones has less radiation therefore it should take along time until you get cancer. maybe when you get older.

Answer 2

The evidence is inconclusive, but there is some evidence that it may cause cancer. For example, those who had brain tumor all had used mobile phone on that side of the brain.

To be sure, try not to use cell phone for so long, make the conversation short if you can. You might use the head phones that usually come with it, but quality of sound seems to deteriorate.

Nobody would tell you exactly how long to get an effect. Some people may never have any effect. It is like smoking. You increase the risk if you smoke, but no necessarily will end up with lung cancer.

Be safe.

Answer 3

The study that was just released concluded that cell phones did not seems to be a factor in causing cancers amongst cell phone users.

With that said, the study also concluded that people that had brain cancers had many more lesions and lesions that were larger in size than people that did not use cell phones regularly.

Answer 4

If cell phones do cause cancer almost everyone will be prone or have cancer. Please note that according to these claimers the cell phones "transmission radiation" causes the cancer. According to their claim every time it transmits it hits your body. However if we analyze cell phones do not transmit in straight line but scattered otherwise it will be hard to receive or make calls, text message, mms message, etc.

So not owning a cell phone does not save you from every one who has a cell phone. You'll still be bombarded with the transmission radiation. Actually if you analyze having one protects you cause while your not making a call or sending a message. The phones antenna is absorbing signals or "transmission radiation"

Answer 5

No, modern cell phones do not cause cancer. If they do increase the risk of cancer, it is by a tiny fraction of a percent. Older cell phones emitted more electromagnetic waves, and those might have been a greater risk, but really not a concern at all.

Answer 6

Cell phones really DON'T cause cancer.

See the American Cancer Society web site for the latest information.

Answer 7

Cell phones do not cause cancer anymore than eating a McDonald's hamburger does...well you probably have less of a chance of getting cancer with a cell phone :)

Answer 8

Cell phones have been scientifically proven to NOT cause cancer. The previous study was false, and even if it did cause any type of cancer, the exposure would have to be so intense that no human being could possibly talk on the phone for that long.

Answer 9

The latest research says that there's no link between cancer and cell phone use. A recent study actually even proved there's no link between headaches and cell phone use. They're still doing research, but right now, it's pretty much an urban myth that cell phones cause cancer.

Answer 10

I don't think that it has been proven that cell phones cause cancer; however, brain scans taken of people who use cell phones a lot show that the side of their brain that corresponds to the ear they favor is " different " from the other side.

Answer 11

As an oncologist, I know that the radiation emitted from a cellular device is so minuscule that you would have to talk on a phone everyday for five average human lives until forming an unusual growth of cells, or cancer. (that is unless the radiation is emitted over a more sensitive area as the genitals or underarms)
