Spike Seen in Aggressive Brain Cancer in Denmark

Spike Seen in Aggressive Brain Cancer in Denmark

Date Published: Monday, November 12th, 2012

The number of men in Denmark diagnosed with brain cancer has seen a significant spike in the last decade, according to the Danish Cancer Society (DCS).?The DCS made the announcement based on the number of patients who were found to have glioblastoma?the most malignant type of brain cancer.

While the DCS did not provide an opinion as to what may be causing the increase, some in the medical community have already begun to offer opinions that the increase could be connected to cell phone use. An Interphone study and the group led by Sweden?s Lennart Hardell have previously said that long-term cell phone use is associated with higher rates of glioma, microwavenews.com said.

?I think the data is true and valid,? Christoffer Johansen of the DNC told Microwave News. Johansen is a part of a team of researchers who have been investigating possible links between cell phones and the development of brain tumors. The group has held its position that no link exists.

The controversy surrounding cell phone use and the development of brain tumors has swelled in recent weeks after Italy?s Supreme Court awarded a verdict to a man who was diagnosed with a brain tumor after several decades of working in an environment that featured heavy phone use on a daily basis.
