Risk of Brain Cancer from Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields in Childhood and
Adolescence (MOBI-KIDS)
MOBI-KIDS is an international study investigating the relationship between exposure to radio
frequency energy from communication technologies including cell phones and brain cancer in young
people. This is an international multi-center study involving 14 European and non-European countries.

Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer
Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer statistics in the United States to detect any
change in rates of new cases for brain cancer. If cell phones play a role in risk for brain cancer, rates
should go up, because heavy cell phone use has been common for quite some time in the U.S.
Between 1987 and 2005, the overall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did not increase.
