From "Fortune" magazine, the news about cancer is nothing to worry about.

The death of Johnnie Cochran at the age of 67 was a surprise to everyone. According to his family the brain tumor that killed him was very rare. Ever since then cell phones have been investigated for causing brain tumors. I think people that disregard reasonable concern open themselves up for danger and in this case it is brain AND heart cancer. Why heart cancer? Because cell phones are frequently carried in left hand pockets in a shirt or inside a jacket.

I think Fortune magazine is irresponsible. They should publish the facts, but, with a tone that cancers are still a concern.

No one can simply look the other way when brain tumors AND heart cancer (not necessarily in the same person) are finding common factors in cell phones. Heart cancer was extremely rare.

For a start, (click here) while there were slight increases in some types of cancer in male rats in the study, Carroll points out that female rats were treated to the same signals—and there was no increase in their cancer rates. And a statistically significant increased incidence of brain cancer for male rats was only found for CDMA signals, not GSM.
That’s surprising because, while real-world GSM phones emit more radiation than CDMA phones, the experimental radiation exposure levels were held constant between parallel groups. And since the main difference between GSM and CDMA is their data standard, there should only be different impacts if DNA could be corrupted by binary code....

The study. Rodent are used for such studies for important reasons.

The US National Toxicology Program (NTP) (click here) has carried out extensive rodent toxicology and carcinogenesis studies of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) at frequencies and modulations used in the US telecommunications industry. This report presents partial findings from these studies. The occurrences of two tumor types in male Harlan Sprague Dawley rats exposed to RFR, malignant gliomas in the brain and schwannomas of the heart, were considered of particular interest, and are the subject of this report....
