Mobile phone use and risk of glioma in adults

摘要

The study by Hepworth et al has severe shortcomings, including faulty interpretation and unfounded conclusions.1 Is there really any occupational or environmental factor capable of inducing glioma in a period of 3 to 4 years (the average duration of use of a mobile phone in this study)? Not even after high doses of therapeutic x rays have such short latencies been observed.
