Best to leave the lead and petrol and octane rating out of it. For a start, you are wrong on lead being related to lung cancer. Lead poisons brains in children [the main problem].

The higher the frequency, the higher the energy of photons. At 2.5GHz they are still too low to ionize, but combined with a simultaneous higher frequency wave from another source [there are always some around], the interference pattern would boost energy of the combination into ionizing range.

Since carcinogens such as benzene can do their work without radio frequency, my guess is that the presence of even low frequency providers some slight increased probability of the necessary chemical reaction taking place - more heat generates more chemical reaction. Benzene causes myeloid leukaemia [a good thing to worry about with petrol/gasoline if levels aren't low but much better to worry about it from cigarettes]. Brain tumours come from other chemical/DNA/viral/radiological/nutritional causes.

My guess is that the brain cancer contribution from cellphone radiation is so low that it would be hard to find among those other causes and that is shown to be the case with small studies done so far.
