WHO study says long-term wireless use increases cancer risk
Scientists say more research needed

WASHINGTON-A new World Health Organization-backed study says long-term 
mobile-phone use increases the risk of cancer, but scientists said 
follow-up research is needed before it can be determined whether wireless 
handsets pose a health danger to consumers.

  The Institute of Environmental Medicine at Karolinska Institute in 
Stockholm, Sweden, today said research showed 10 or more years of 
mobile-phone use increased the risk of acoustic neuroma on the side of the 
head where the phone was usually used.

Acoustic neuroma is a benign tumor-occurring in less than one adult per 
100,000 per year-on the auditory nerve that grows slowly over a period of 
years before it is diagnosed.

The new findings appear similar to those previously reported by Swedish 
scientist Lennart Hardell, whose research was attacked by industry lawyers 
and ultimately discarded by U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake two years 
ago in her dismissal of an $800 million cancer lawsuit against Motorola 
Inc. and others.
