Heavy mobile phone use linked to brain tumors

According to a top Australian neurosurgeon, who conducted a 15 month critical review of the link between mobile phones and malignant brain tumors, says that heavy use for more than ten years can more than double the risk of brain cancer.

Vini Khurana, MD, has called for immediate and decisive steps by industry and government to reduce people's exposure to invisible electromagnetic radiation emitted by handsets.

Dr. Khurana says that by 2008-2012, we will have reached an appropriate length of follow-up time to begin observing the impact of mobile phone use and incidence of brain cancer. He went on to say that there is already enough definitive evidence to warrant industry and governments to act.
