The evidence, while still accumulating, is strong enough to support a conclusion. There could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk.

The team that released the report consists of 31 scientists from 14 countries who studied peer-reviewed studies on cell phone safety.

The World Health Organization said today that using cellphones may increase the risk for cancer. According to a press release from WHO and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) , the study found that "radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use."The debate whether cell phones can cause cancer has been debated for years. Up until today, WHO has said no adverse effects of cell phone use had been established.It's difficult to study the effects of long-term exposure and make conclusions, said Dr. Keith Black, chairman of neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, in an article from CNN .
