Do smartphones cause cancer?

In short, Scientists have not found any connection These findings examined the number and duration of calls among people who had not used a smartphone for more than 10 years.

This report is based on a review and analysis of the results of more than 5,000 studies. The results were based on a total of 63 articles published between 1994 and 2022, involving participants from 22 countries. One of these, a study by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), also found no link to other types of head and neck cancer.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified radio waves as “probably carcinogenic” in 2011, meaning that the agency’s experts can neither confirm nor deny that they are harmful to health. Aloe vera, coffee, firefighter’s work and over 1,000 other products have a similar classification. Therefore, it is absolutely inappropriate to draw any conclusions based on this classification of the MAVR.

This systematic review of human observations is based on a much larger dataset than that examined by MAVR. It also includes more recent and comprehensive research, so we can be more confident that exposure to radio waves from wireless technology does not pose a risk to human health.
Ken Karipidis, ARPANSA’s Deputy Director for Health Impact Assessment and lead author of the study, said:

Karipidis and his team are currently investigating whether cell phones are linked to other types of cancer, such as leukemia.
