Cell Phone Radiation: Ongoing research Confirms No Definitive Cancer Link, Experts urge Continued Vigilance
paris, France – November 26, 2025 – Recent findings continue to indicate that radiofrequency waves emitted by mobile phones do not definitively cause cancer, though scientists emphasize the need for ongoing monitoring and a precautionary approach. The assessment, released today by international research teams, builds upon decades of inquiry into the potential health effects of mobile phone use.
While large-scale epidemiological studies have consistently failed to establish a causal link between cell phone radiation and increased cancer risk, the research underscores the complexity of evaluating long-term effects from widespread technology exposure. The findings are especially relevant to the billions of peopel globally who rely on mobile phones daily, and to public health officials tasked with balancing technological advancement with population safety. Experts suggest continued research is crucial,given the evolving nature of mobile technology – including the rollout of 5G networks - and usage patterns.
The studies, encompassing data from multiple countries, focused on potential associations between mobile phone use and various types of cancer, including brain tumors and acoustic neuromas. researchers analyzed data from cohorts followed over several years, examining exposure levels and cancer incidence rates.
“the current body of evidence does not support a causal relationship between mobile phone use and cancer,” stated a representative from the research consortium. “However, it is important to remain cautious. We are continually refining our understanding of the potential biological effects of radiofrequency radiation, and further research is necessary to address remaining uncertainties.”
The ongoing research highlights the challenges of studying the long-term effects of technologies introduced relatively recently. Scientists acknowledge that subtle or delayed effects may not be immediately apparent, and that individual susceptibility could play a role. Public health recommendations continue to emphasize minimizing exposure were possible, such as using hands-free devices and limiting call duration.
