Kathleen Deoul: I am familiar with that study, and what I found particularly important about it was that this type of tumor grows on the nerve connecting the brain and ear. It is easy to imagine that if cell phone radiation can cause a benign tumor in this area, it could also cause cancerous tumors.

Copulos: Well, that's exactly right. Mind you, none of these effects are a direct indication that cell phone radiation causes cancer, but they certainly should raise a red flag. But there are two other studies that illustrate the dilemma that exists in that regard.

In one study, published in 1997 in Australia, researchers found that Lymphoma-prone mice exposed to cell phone radiation were twice as likely to develop that type of cancer as mice that were not exposed.

But another Australian study, published in 2002, found that Lymphoma-prone mice exposed to cell phone radiation were not more likely to develop Lymphomas than ones that were not. So these two studies directly contradict each other.

If scientists can't agree, how can a non-technical person be expected to make a decision?

Kathleen Deoul: That's exactly my point. Although I must say that if there is any chance that something is going to give me cancer, I want to avoid it.

Copulos: You have it spot on, and you've just applied the precautionary principle.
