Mobile phones not causing rise in brain tumours: NZ study


The risk of brain tumours has not changed significantly through increased mobile phone usage, according to new research by the University of Auckland. The Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association highlighted the finding on its website, citing a paper published in the Australia and New Zealand Journal of Public Health on trends in primary brain cancer instances in New Zealand between 1995 and 2010. 

The research, which was carried out by epidemiologist professor Mark Elwood, found no general increase in brain tumours. Elwood said there had been concerns about whether the use of mobile phones could lead to rise in the occurrence of brain tumours. 

His team examined the yearly incidence of brain cancers, both in total and in those sub-types highlighted in some other studies, in New Zealand from 1995 to 2010, using data from the New Zealand national cancer registry. “There has been no general increase,” said Elwood. “In fact, for the wide age range 10 to 69 years, there has been a decrease of about one percent per year.”
