Interphone is a large international study designed to determine whether cell phones increase the risk
of head and neck cancer. A report published in the International Journal of Epidemiology (June, 2010)
compared cell phone usage for more than 5,000 people with brain tumors (glioma and meningioma)
and a similar number of healthy controls.
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused brain cancer. In this study, most people
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones caused brain cancer. In this study, most people
had no increased risk of brain cancer from using cell phones. For people with the heaviest use of cell
phones (an average of more than ½ hour per day, every day, for over 10 years) the study suggested a
slight increase in brain cancer. However, the authors determined that biases and errors prevented any

Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but it did not answer all questions about cell phone
safety. Additional research is being conducted around the world, and the FDA continues to monitor
developments in this field.

The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring of a large group of people to
determine if there are any health issues linked to long-term exposure to radio frequency energy from cell
phone use. The COSMOS study will follow approximately 300,000 adult cell phone users in Europe for

MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the relationship between exposure to radio frequency
energy from communication technologies including cell phones and brain cancer in young people. This
is an international multi-center study involving 14 European and non-European countries. Additional

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer statistics in the United States to detect
any change in rates of new cases for brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in risk for brain cancer,
rates should go up, because heavy cell phone use has been common for quite some time in the U.S.
Between 1987 and 2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did not increase. Additional

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the cell
phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
● Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for the type of signal
emitted by cell phones;
● Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user; and
● Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current information on cell phone use
and human health concerns.
