The US National Toxicology Program has found “clear evidence” that exposure to cell phone radiation increases the risk for at least one type of cancer in male rats. While rats and humans are not exactly equivalents, the results appear to align with the biggest cell phone-radiation human study to date, INTERPHONE.



…in male rats, there was “clear evidence” that exposure to cell phone radiation increased risk for a rare type of malignant tumor called schwannoma in the connective tissues that surround nerves in the heart (they found “equivocal” evidence for the same thing in female rats). They also found “some evidence” that the radiation caused malignant glioma — a type of brain cancer affecting glial cells — in the male rats.
