Does Cellphone Use Lead to Cancer?

Eric: Hey! My name is Eric, I'm from Austin, Texas and I was wondering if cellphone use really poses the risk of cancer?

Dr. James Marshall: Eric, there is reason to suspect that we should be cautious about cellphones, because they do emit a form of radiation and they're held next to a part of our body, our head, which is relatively important. But there hasn't been any substantial increase in any kind of brain cancer in the past decade or two decades, since cellphone use has come into play.

There have been reasonably good epidemiologic studies which have tried to find an association between cellphone use and brain cancer, and they haven't found much.
