It has become somewhat of a fad to claim brain cancer will come from talking on the cell phone. I have heard the claim over the years, but never believed there to be a relation or a danger is using my cell phone frequently. However, some people did take the claim seriously and some tests were run. One test run by The Interphone Study Group tested the relationship between brain cancer and cell phone use. Their conclusion proved there to be little to no relation between health and cell phones, however they did note the population they used in the study didn't use phones as nearly much as they are used in today's society. If they ran their test again would they find a relation? Another group, The International Agency for Research on Cancer ran tests seeking a relation and again did not find anything significant. However, while their evidence didn't result in any significant cases of brain cancer, there was significant reason to believe there would be risks in the future. Due to their study and conclusion for the future, more tests should be run to grade how users in today's society may be affected. We are using cell phones at a much higher rate now and the risk of health relations can only be growing.
