No Brain Cancer Tie To Mobile Phones - U.S. Expert Friday, July 23, 1999 latimes.com UBLIN--A U.S. radiation expert said Friday that extensive studies had shown there was no evidence of a link between mobile phone use and brain cancer, but that there were always more studies to be done. John Molder, a professor of radiation oncology from the Medical College of Wisconsin, said during a visit to Dublin there was "no evidence of hazard whatsoever" from the use of mobile phones. "There are always more studies that can be done," Molder said. "But there have already been extensive studies in human and animals and no link between cell (mobile) phone use and brain cancer has been found." Swedish researchers have said mobile phone users could be two and a half times more likely to develop brain cancer than those who do not, but Molder said he had studied their research and found the numbers had no statistical significance. The evidence of brain tumors in mobile phone users was in a tiny sub-group of about five people, he told a news conference on the last day of the 11th International Congress on Radiation Research in Dublin.
