If you call March 31, 2006 "old"

Fri Mar 31, 10:00 AM ET

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - The use of mobile phones over a long period of
time can raise the risk for brain tumors, a new Swedish study said on
Friday, contradicting the conclusions of other researchers.

However, researchers at the Swedish National Institute for Working Life
said they looked at the mobile phone use of 905 people between the age
of 20 and 80 who had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and
found a link.
"A total 85 of these 905 cases were so-called high users of mobile
phones, that is they began early to use mobile and, or wireless
telephones and used them a lot," the study said.

"The study also shows that the rise in risk is noticeable for tumors on
the side of the head where the phone was said to be used," it added.
Kjell Mild, who led the study, said the figures meant that heavy users
of mobile phones, for instance of who make mobile phone calls for 2,000
hours or more in their life, had a 240 percent increased risk for a
malignant tumor on the side of the head the phone is used.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to earlier Swedish studies, at odds with
essentially all other studies, that were subsequently brought into question.
This latest study might well meet the same fate:

FDA to review wireless phone safety

It wants to evaluate latest research in wake of controversial Swedish study

APRIL 06, 2006 (REUTERS) - WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration said today that it will review wireless phone safety
after a recently published study that raised concerns about a
heightened risk of brain cancer.

Swedish researchers said last month the use of cellular phones over a
long period of time can raise the risk of brain tumors (See "Study:
Long-term mobile phone use raises brain tumor risk"). Their findings
contradict a number of earlier studies and are "difficult to
interpret," the FDA said in comments posted on its Web site.

Still, the agency said it "plans to convene a meeting in the near
future to evaluate research conducted to date in this area and
identify gaps in knowledge that warrant additional research."
