Information by PM regarding epidemiology of brain cancer and cellphone effects. <There is a book about "The Secret History of the War on Cancer" written by Devra Davis and published in November 2007 by Basic Books. She is Prof. of Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Center. I highly recommend this book. You may find on Chapter 15 (Title: Presumed Innocent) the part about "Phones and our cells", pp 400-410. Among other reviews, she comments on a major international study on brain cancer in wireless users, headquartered at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, Lyon, France) of the WHO. The study was 1997 designed to combine more than 3000 cases of brain tumors from around the world (GSM users ?) and was supposed to release its results in 2006. The study receives much of its funding from the industry (bias?, lack of independence?). More than a year after the IARC study was to have ended, it is still "under way". Six months ago, the chief of the IARC study reported that she did not have any idea when the work might be published. > Thanks to my correspondent, Mqurice
