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. Additional
information about MOBI-KIDS can be found at

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. Additional information about
SEER can be found at http://seer.cancer.gov/.
Cell Phone Industry Actions
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has
urged the cell phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:
• Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for the type of signal
emitted by cell phones;
• Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the
user; and
• Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current information on cell
phone use and human health concerns.
The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies such as the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standards
continue to adequately protect the public.
