Cell phone uses electromagnetic waves. Initially, it was told by scientific community that using too much cell phone will lead to too much exposure with emt waves and it may cause the damage of healthy cells or worse cancer. Though, later close scrutiny by scientist ruled out any possibility. However, there are still some fears about too much cell phone use leading to brain tumor. Then again if we see the stats, then the percentage of brain tumor patient has not increased recently despite the fact that cell phone is being used on mass scale these days. So we can say that there is no chances of any correlation between two.

One thing is for sure. Even if excess use of cell phone does not lead to cancer or brain tumor, there are more possibilities of damaging the hearing.

I don't think so. I don't think there is any actual proof/science backing up the claims that some news channels make - I think it's more of a scare tactic, or something that happens to .00000001% of the population. I'm not sure where they came up with the idea; I think it has something to do with radiation. , but I'm not sure. Shows how much I pay attention. lol.

I was known from a news paper that, who will use cell phone from 10years continuously, It may causes the cancer for them. They also added to their journal that near about 60% people in the world will affect in cancer in coming 10 years.

Hello, Yea I think that it would cause too much cancer, especially if you call people a lot using it. The main reason is that it sends dangerous wireless waves from your phone, to the other phone somehow, and the waves damage your brain and could leave tumors in it. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!
