Interphone Study
Interphone is a large international study designed to
determine whether cell phones increase the risk of
head and neck cancer. A report published in the
International Journal of Epidemiology (June, 2010)
compared cell phone usage for more than 5,000
people with brain tumors (glioma and meningioma)
and a similar number of healthy controls.
Results of this study did NOT show that cell phones
caused brain cancer. In this study, most people had
no increased risk of brain cancer from using cell
phones. For people with the heaviest use of cell
phones (an average of more than ½ hour per day,
every day, for over 10 years) the study suggested a
slight increase in brain cancer. However, the authors
determined that biases and errors prevented any
conclusions being drawn from this data. Additional
information about Interphone can be found at

Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but
it did not answer all questions about cell phone safety.
Additional research is being conducted around the
world, and the FDA continues to monitor
developments in this field.
International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term
health monitoring of a large group of people to
determine if there are any health issues linked to
long-term exposure to radio frequency energy from
cell phone use. The COSMOS study will follow
approximately 300,000 adult cell phone users in
Europe for 20 to 30 years. Additional information

Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields in
Childhood and Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)
MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the
relationship between exposure to radio frequency
energy from communication technologies including
cell phones and brain cancer in young people. This is
an international multi-center study involving 14
