The study compared 1,617 patients with brain tumours with a group of 1,470 free from brain tumours to investigate the effects of mobile phone use.

The researchers found
(a) A 30% increase in brain tumours on the same side of the brain that was used during cell (mobile) phone calls was observed.
(b) There was a 4.4 fold increase in non-malignant tumours in cell (mobile) phone users.

This paper addressed the following question: is there evidence for an association between long-term cell (mobile) phone usage and the risk of developing a brain tumor?

The researchers found 11 studies in which statistics were available where users had being using their phones for a minimum of 10 years

The study found that cell (mobile) phone use approximately doubles the risk of being diagnosed with a brain tumor on the same ("ipsilateral") side of the head as that preferred for cell phone use.

The study found that mobile (cell) phone use is a major cause of tinnitus, the distressing hearing problem. Even using a mobile phone for 10 minutes increases the risk by 71 per cent, researchers have discovered, although the risk doubles for those who have used a mobile phone for more than four years. The overall risk for any use is 37 per cent compared with someone who does not use a mobile phone.
