Ambulance-chasing Tero Kuittinen 12/28/00 10:46 AM ET The new lawsuits concerning mobile phones and cancer are exquisitely badly timed. Papers trying to tentatively build a case for cause-and-effect have been published in journals with tenuous academic credentials. However, during the recent month there has been a one-two punch of research papers showing no link between phone usage and oncogenesis. The new research has been published in JAMA and New England Journal of Medicine – two of the leading medical publications in the world. Litigation against the tobacco industry was built on a mountain of evidence about the link between smoking and incidence of cancer among smokers. But now articles published in journals with top impact factors (a measure of their academic standing) in the field have found no statistical evidence of a connection between mobile phones and cancer. Future research may unearth new evidence; but the burden of proof after this December’s research publications is a lot higher than it was last autumn.
