Cell Phones: Can They Really Cause Cancer?

In May 2011, the World Health Organization announced that it had added cell phone radiation to a long list of possible cancer-causing agents.

To learn more, we spoke to URMC neurosurgeon and oncologist Dr. Kevin A. Walter, who directs the program for brain and spinal tumors at URMC. In the clip below, Dr. Walter stresses that the WHO classification is only suggesting a theoretical risk, not actual causation. He also says we'd make much better use of our time and resources if we instead focused on other real and rampant health concerns, like heart disease, diabetes or obesity.

Literally everyone : JUST TELL US YES OR NO

Me : So can radio waves expose us to radiation?

[luigirnotyourbusiness]

Ty Dr Walter but I can feel the radiation and it annoys me, even if it doesn't cause cancer

[just.a.guy.]

I'm using phone for 15 years now and I still don't have cancer

Phones do make head aches tho bc your looking at light for a long time

I heard a woman who carried phone in bra got breast cancer. I heard a kid who slept with phone under pillow got brain cancer. Recently I knew a woman who got cancer in her hip bone. I wonder if she kept her phone in her pocket.

Been using cell phones for close to five hundred thousand years still haven't gotten cancer.

This man has not done any test in his life. He is not an expert. Switch your phone to airplane mode when you are sleeping, and any other time you don't need to the exposure.
