Mobile phones and brain tumor risk.
According to some researchers the use of mobile phones over a long period of time can raise the risk for intracranial tumor. In the US there are over 220 million mobile phone users, and 2 billion worldwide.
Researchers at the Swedish National Institute for Working Life said they looked at the mobile phone use of 905 people between the age of 20 and 80 who had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and found a link. [1]
Using a cell phone regularly – even a modern one – raises the risk of developing a brain tumor for many users, a new Finnish study published online in the International Journal of Cancer. The study, done by a collection of researchers from many universities and led by Anna Lahkola of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, found firm corollary evidence that using a cell phone causes the risk of getting a brain tumor called a glioma to rise by 40 to 270 percent on the side of the head preferred for using the phone.

The most common symptom of a brain tumor are: Severe headaches, seizures, vision or hearing problems and nausea.
