163 Risk of major lymphoma subtypes and use of mobile phones

Abstract

Introduction: We explored the association between use of mobile phones and lymphoma risk in a casecontrol study. Methods. We conducted unconditional logistic regression analysis in 322 lymphoma cases and 446 population controls, adjusting by age, gender and education. Results. Risk of lymphoma (all types; OR = 1.5; 95%CI 1.0 - 2.1), and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (OR = 1.8; 95%CI 1.0 - 3.4) was elevated in subjects reporting use of mobile phones, but it decreased with duration of use, and years from first purchase. Conclusions. Our contradictory findings would not support the aetiological nature of the observed associations. © PI-ME, Pavia 2012.
