In the INTERPHONE study, the 10% of people who used their cell phones the most had a small increase in the risk of a certain type of brain tumor.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by the original INTERPHONE Study Group 2010 publication (OR=1.40, 95% CI 1.03-1.89 for glioma in highest decile) plus corroborating summaries from ISGLOBAL, NCI, and a 2024 re-analysis. Caveats exist regarding implausible reported values and lack of clear dose-response, but the core statistical finding is consistently reported.
