Using a Cellphone Regularly Can Cause Cancer

Having spending such a long time on a largest-ever study investigating if cellphones cause cancer, Interphone researchers from 6,400 tumors in patients from 13 countries said that regular cellphone users are 50% more likely than non-users to get brain tumors. The result from the research also indicated that those who have been using cellphone more than 10 years will be 40% likely to get the brain tumors. On the other hand, you don't need to worry about it if you have been using cellphone less than 10 years. However, the final results of Interphone's study are not a definitive answer to the question of brain cancer for cellphone users, yet there are a lot of studied about this cases have been statistically useless. As mention above, it takes more than a decade to make a cellphone users develop a brain tumors. Let think about if I call only 1 or 2 times a weeks then I don't need to worry about it. It means the possibility of this definition underestimates the risk to people who use cellphones more frequently.
