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. Additional information about

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.
