mobile phone use and brain tumour: an age-period-cohort analysis of brain tumour rates in the nordic population

background : the association of the mobile phone use and risk of brain tumor remains controversial among radiationepidemiologists. methods : we hypothesized if an association between brain tumor and mobile phone use exists, this association will be manifested as a cohort effect (as a proxy of association between mobile phone use and brain tumor) in the incidence rates of brain tumor during the ...
