Can cell phones really give you brain cancer?

Anything and everything can give you cancer nowadays.

They say that the frequency of cell phones interfere with medical machines.\n That s why hospitals warn against them

It depends on the cancer, how it grows, what it responds to in treatment and whether it is contained in a mass or is more diffuse.  There are different treatments for brain cancer and you need to discuss these with a neuro-oncologist and a neurosurgeon.  In my experience the survival time is somewhere between 3-9 months, but I have known people who have survived and are living cancer free now.  Remember, Lance Armstrong had mets to his brain and he is doing great.  I wish you strength and comfort in the days ahead.

I've heard it could cause health problems because of the electromagnetic energy. Doctors are also concerned because so many kids are using cell phones now. I only use mine when I have to. I really do hate them.

My husband had a pilocytic astrocytoma in his cerabellum around his brain stem 8 years ago.  It was surgically removed and required no further treatments other than a somewhat lengthy recovery from the surgery (6 months)and regular monitoring via MRI.\n\nI think the treatment would depend on the location of the tumor and the cell type.

Are you kidding me? Talking on the phone while you are on the computer? Jeeze!!! You will get cancer dude!

WebMD is a good website.  However, it is NOT true that only doctors can have an informed opinion on this.  I am a research biologist who studies cancer in my laboratory.  So, I think my opinion is valid even though I am not a Medical Doctor.  Please see my answer on your previous question for a more thorough explanation of the causes of cancer.\n\nRadiation is known to induce mutations, which can then result in cancer.  However, it is NOT clear whether the radiation dosage from power lines or cell phones is sufficient to cause cancer.  I suspect it is NOT or else we would be experiencing a cancer epidemic in America.

Intensive testing has been undertaken, and long term tests are still being performed. Current thinking is that modern mobile handsets cannot harm the human body, although in the interests of caution, you are advised not to let young children or babies use such devices (as the bones are still soft, they could be more susceptible).\n\nTests on mice and rats have shown tumour growth when subjected to prolonged exposure to the type of radiation produced by mobile phones, but only when the level is much higher than modern mobile phones (about 5x more!) and the duration much longer than would normally be present.\n\nAlso, modern digital mobile phones only produce harmful radiation when in use (i.e. when surfing or calling) or when reporting position to the network (about once every 15-45 minutes depending on network setup). \n\nThe new generation of mobile phones (3G) use a different type of digital transmission and power control is much more important than was the case for the older phones, so the level of radiation should be much reduced again.\n\nThere has been no reports of heart attack or cardiac disturbance from mobile phone use, the only dangers are over-heating / exploding when being charged or used excessively but needless to say these effects are extremely rare.\n\nSo, I would say there is no danger in keeping a mobile phone in a shirt pocket - in fact, I do!

yeah, a brain tumor can do just about anything to you. make you hallucinate and see things, do things, lose senses, lose movement, etc.

I am not a singer by a long distance and now can hardly even talk - all thanks to an illness called cancer. Almost everyone attributed my cancer ( of the larynx ) to smoking except for my treating oncologist who attributed it to "maximum voice abuse". My job was such that I was traveling almost twenty days of each month, talking on the cellular for hours at an end, I would carry  two cellulars and two extra batteries as back up. Even on the days I was at home though less my cellular conversations would be for at least two batteries and even holidays were a misery for my family.\nSo - be careful but you dont have to be scared as I am sure you are abusing your voice as I did.

You have a brain tumor and it obviously has already effected your ability to think.....Go to the emergency room...NOW

No, it's FAR too low energy to cause such problems.\n\nA high energy source, such as a microwave oven of mobile phone mast has the hind of power required to alter DNA structure and cause cancer.  Various studies hint that a mobile phone will do it with prolonged use as well.

Its said that cell phones.. When you're blabbing away on your cell phone, did you know that your voice is transmitted from the antenna as radio frequency radiation? In fact, your voice puts out about half as much radiation as a microwave. Too bad we can't cook up a meal simply by talking to it on our cell phone.\n\nIt shouldn't come as a surprise that with that much radiation flowing from your phone, there's a good chance it's going to soak into your brain and cause some kind of damage. Cell phone users are at risk for getting rare brain tumors. In fact, studies have found that the rare tumors happen on the same side of the head that people usually use to talk on their cell phones.\n\nMillions of people use their cell phone on a daily basis - America alone has about 123 million cell phone users. Are you one of them? If so, you are putting a high-powered transmitter against your head - about an inch away from your brain. So don't sound so shocked to hear that talking on your cell phone might cause some serious damage.

For exemple when u put your cell phone between ur legs, \nwhenever the cell phone rings it transmit electromagnetic fields into ur genitals, they can damage the dna chains inside ur reproductive cells (spermatozoid)

no - see another doctor........my 18yr. old cousin was bieng treated for migrain headaches - for 6mos. started having seizures and another doctor actually found that she had a mass on the brain that was cancerous, stage 4, terminal..........she died. you dont have time for mis-diagnosis, life is already to short.

I heard something like it causes brain lesions..

yes it is true i have tried it by myself... i took on enokia 2600 and samsung C230 both used to give out lot of radiation.. i just placed an egg and the mobiles on the other two sides of the egg.. used head phone to speak and nearly spent 87 min (1hr 27 min) and the egg was boiled ... i nearly spent 300 rs for making this egg boil... u better dont try it.
