New Study Finds Cell Phone Use Increases Risk of Mouth Cancer

December 17, 2007 7:31 PM | Interesting | Comments (0)

A new study has found that cell phone use increases the risk of mouth cancer. Scientists have found that 5 years of heavy cell phone usage increases the chance of developing a tumor by approximately 50 percent compared with people who never use a cell phone.  

The study is the latest to link cell phone use to cancer. Last September we reported that UK's Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research (MTHR) Program published a report stating that after a six year study they found mobile phone usage have no association with any biological or adverse health effects.

In the study, 402 people with benign mouth tumors and 56 with malignant tumors were compared to a control group of 1,266 people.  The people who used cell phones were more likely than normal to develop parotid gland tumors. The parotid gland is one of the salivary glands situated just in front of or below the ear.

It is the largest of the salivary glands in man, and its duct opens into the interior of the mouth opposite the second molar of the upper jaw.

Long-term users of cell phones tend to develop tumors on the same side of the head as the phone as normally held.  People who used cell phones in rural areas, where the phone has to work harder to make contact with the nearest base station, were found to be at greater risk.  The cause of the increased risk was not established.
