A recent study published in the online Journal of the National Cancer Institute concludes that talking on your cell phone does not increase your chances of getting melanoma of the eye.  The study, which compared the cell phone use of 459 melanoma patients with 459 people without melanoma overturned an earlier study which used only 118 patients can came to the opposite conclusion.

Even though no hard evidence has emerged linking the cellular changes that cause cancer to cell phone use, major studies continue to be funded. Many of these studies produce conflicting information. The most recent study adds another check to the ‘safe’ column.  In the article, the researchers write, “In conclusion, we observed no overall increased risk of uveal melanoma among regular mobile phone users or users of radio sets in Germany, where digital mobile phone technology was introduced in the early 1990s.”
