• ; Widespread Use Is Cause for Concern

Cell phone users may be at increased risk for two types of rare cancers and should try to reduce their exposure to the energy emitted by the phones, according to a panel of 31 international scientists convened by an agency of the World Health Organization. Studies so far do not show definitively that cell phone use increases cancer risk, said the authors of the consensus statement issued Tuesday by the WHO. However, "limited" scientific evidence exists, they said, to suggest that the radio frequency energy released by cell phones may increase the risk of two types of cancers: glioma, a type of brain cancer, and acoustic neuroma, a tumor of the nerve that runs from the ear to the brain.
