A comprehensive review commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) has found no link between mobile phone use and brain or head cancers. The study, led by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (Arpansa), analyzed 63 high-quality observational studies from 1994 to 2022, making it the most extensive review to date.
Despite the significant increase in mobile phone usage, there has not been a corresponding rise in brain cancer incidence. This review included cancers of the brain, pituitary and salivary glands, and leukemia, and found no increased risks associated with mobile phone use.

The findings reaffirm the scientific consensus that mobile phones are safe concerning cancer risks, although the classification of radio wave exposure as “possibly carcinogenic” by IARC still stands.
The review also highlighted the need for ongoing research, especially with the advent of new technologies like 5G.
