Gsm-gebruik en speekselklierkanker: overzicht van de recentste wetenschappelijke stand van zaken

(Zware) gsm-gebruikers hebben 28% meer kans op speekselkliertumoren. Mensen die meer dan 2,5u per dag met de gsm bellen hebben 15 tot 30 keer meer kans op deze vorm van kanker (http://microwavenews.com/Duan.Zhang.html).

Does cell phone use increase the chances of parotid gland tumor development? A systematic review and meta-analysis

Electromagnetic Radiation Safety, Dec 13, 2016

A systematic review and meta-analysis of research studies on cell phone use and parotid gland tumor risk was just published in the Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine by de Siqueira and his colleagues.

Using three independent samples including 5087 subjects from case-control studies, cell phone use was associated with a greater risk of salivary gland tumors. Cell phone users were 28% more likely to develop a parotid gland tumor.

This is the first systematic review followed by a meta-analysis to evaluate the association between cell phone use and parotid gland tumors. The parotid gland is the largest salivary gland. It is located in front of each ear along the cheek.

The authors warned that "Results should be read with caution due to the limited number of studies available and their retrospective design."
