No. There is no clinical scientific evidence that cell phones cause brain cancer in human beings.

"there is now considerable epidemiologic evidence that shows no consistent association between cellular phone use and overall risk of brain cancer. "

The confusion may stem from questions about a rare benign tumor called acoustic neuroma . . which is not cancer . . where 'evidence' isn't as clear at this point . . studies are ongoing.

What doesn't cause some type of cancer these days. It seems like it is everything.

If you look it up, it's actually proven.

I keep hearing that everything causes cancer. Seriously, as for a cell phone, I highly doubt it!

I think Rush talked about that ten or more years ago and then they figured out it did not. But i have seen people with a giant ear, that talk on it too much. Naw. Take care.

Some cell phones emit small amounts of radiation which can cause mutations in cells which could lead to cancer. So the answer is probably yes although it is quite umlikely. The phone I would most watch out for is the Blackberry because as far as I know it emits the most radiatinon of all the phones.
Don't be worried though, the chances of you getting cancer from a cell phone are so slim and the theory isn't agreed on by all scientists.
