Interphone is the largest cell phone study to date, but it did not answer all
questions about cell phone safety. Additional research is being conducted
around the world, and the FDA continues to monitor developments in this
field.
International Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Users (COSMOS)
The COSMOS study aims to conduct long-term health monitoring of a large
group of people to determine if there are any health issues linked to
long-term exposure to radio frequency energy from cell phone use. The
COSMOS study will follow approximately 300,000 adult cell phone users in
Europe for 20 to 30 years. Additional information about the COSMOS study
can be found at

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
