背景与使用手机相关的可能的癌症风险最近已成为公众辩论的主题。我们进行了一项基于登记的病例对照研究，研究手机使用与癌症的关系。研究对象为1996年在芬兰诊断的所有脑肿瘤（N = 398）和唾液腺癌（N = 34）病例，每个病例有5名对照。总体而言，手机使用与脑肿瘤或唾液腺癌无关，但神经胶质瘤与模拟手机之间的关联较弱。由于缺乏关于接触的信息，基于登记册的方法在移动电话使用风险评估中的价值有限。
Background. Possible risk of cancer associated with use of cellular telephones has lately been a subject of public debate,Methods. We conducted a register based, case-control study on cellular phone use and cancer. The study subjects were all cases of brain tumor (N = 398) and salivary gland cancer (N = 34) diagnosed in Finland in 1996, with five controls per case.Results. Cellular phone use was not associated with brain tumors or salivary gland cancers overall, but there was a weak association between gliomas and analog cellular phones.Conclusions. A register-based approach has limited value in risk assessment of cellular phone use owing to lack of information on exposure.
