Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio Frequency
Fields in Childhood and Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)
MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the
relationship between exposure to radio frequency
energy from communication technologies including
cell phones and brain cancer in young people. This is
an international multi-center study involving 14
European and non-European countries. Additional
information about MOBI-KIDS can be found at

Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)
Program of the National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows
cancer statistics in the United States to detect any
change in rates of new cases for brain cancer. If cell
phones play a role in risk for brain cancer, rates should
go up, because heavy cell phone use has been
common for quite some time in the U.S. Between 1987
and 2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence of brain
cancer did not increase. Additional information about
SEER can be found at

Cell Phone Industry Actions
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA
regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the cell phone
industry to take a number of steps, including the
following:
● Support-needed research on possible
biological effects of RF for the type of signal
emitted by cell phones;
● Design cell phones in a way that minimizes
any RF exposure to the user; and
● Cooperate in providing users of cell phones
with the current information on cell phone use
and human health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting
bodies such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others
to assure that safety standards continue to adequately
protect the public.
