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
