Dr. Charles Teo, Neurosurgeon in Australia, co-authored a peer reviewed research paper with Dr. Vini Khurana where they said they are very concerned with the link of cell phones and brain tumors.

Dr. Teo says: “If the question is do I believe that mobile phones can cause brain cancer? The answer is yes, I do.” Teo also gives this warning: “I’m incredibly worried, concerned, depressed at the number of kids I’m seeing coming in with brain tumors. Malignant brain tumors. Just in the last three or four weeks I’ve seen nearly half a dozen kids with tumors which really should have been benign and they’ve all been nasty, malignant brain tumors. We are doing something terribly wrong.”

Dr. Khurana says: “The use of mobile phones is associated with a doubling of the risk of being diagnosed

with a brain tumor over ten years, that is what the data that we have analyzed shows.” He also noted that mobile phones could be the biggest public health issue since tobacco. Further he adds, “I think that doubling the risks could be a conservative estimate. I would be very happy to be wrong about this because the public health implications of being right about this are enormous. There are just over 4 billion mobile phone users and people as young as three years old using them.”

The young age of cell phone users is probably the biggest concern for the doctors now as they are seeing a rise in children with brain tumors. According to Dr. Lennart Hardell of Sweden, his research has shown that children under the age of 20 that begin using a cell phone continuously for 10 years has  were five times more likely to develop a “glioma”, a type of brain tumor. The extra risk to young people of contracting the disease from using the cordless phone found in many homes was almost as great, at more than four time higher.”
