Cell Phones linked to deadly Brain tumors, study shows!

Mobile phones may be behind a surge in a deadly brain tumor, scientists say! Cases of glioblastoma in England soared from 983 to 2,531 between 1995 and 2015, the Office of National Statistics says.

The findings are published in the Journal of Public Health and Environment. Study leader Alasdair Philips: “We found a sustained and highly significant increase in GBM throughout the 21 years and across all ages.

“We found the highest rise in incidence in frontal and temporal regions of the brain. This raises the suspicion that mobile and cordless phone use may be promoting gliomas.”  Typically, only a third of patients are still alive, two years after being diagnosed with these types of tumors.
