When brain surgeons refuse to use a cell phone without a speaker on, it says something. Maine State legislators are proposing to place cancer risk warnings on cell phones, an action that seems to confirm the relationship between cell phone radiations and cancer risks. Is radiation protection possible?

Los Angeles. It is true that many brain surgeons refuse to use a cell phone without turning on its speaker and placing the cell phone away, as far as possible, from the head.

However, there is still no consensus among many scientists on whether the radiation from cell phones could be a contributing factor for the recent sudden increase in brain tumor patients.

A Maine legislator wants to make the state the first to require cell phones to carry warnings that they can cause brain cancer, saying that numerous studies point to the cancer risk.

More than 270 million people subscribed to cellular telephone service last year in the United States, an increase from 110 million in 2000, according to CTIA-The Wireless Association.

While many have contended that cell phones post little risks, Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director emeritus of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, does not seem to concur.

He sent a memo to about 3,000 faculty and staff members warning of risks based on early, unpublished data. He said that children should use the phones only for emergencies because their brains were still developing and that adults should keep the phone away from the head and use a speakerphone or a wireless headset.

Herberman, who says scientific conclusions often take too long, is one of numerous doctors and researchers who have endorsed an August report by retired electronics engineer L. Lloyd Morgan. The report highlights a study that found significantly increased risk of brain tumors from 10 or more years of cell phone or cordless phone use.
