Using a mobile phone does not increase your risk of brain cancer, according to a new Japanese study that is the first to consider the effects of radiation on different parts of the brain, Reuters news service reports.
That is good news for many of us who rely on them quite a lot.
Scientists at Tokyo Women's Medical University compared phone use in 322 brain cancer patients with 683 healthy people and found that regularly using a mobile did not significantly affect the likelihood of getting brain cancer.
"We found no association between mobile phone use and cancer, providing more evidence to suggest they don't cause brain cancer," says Naohito Yamaguchi, research team leader. The findings are published in the British Journal of Cancer.
