Natural Healing Tools: Spike in "Aggressive" Brain Cancer in Denmark

The society is not linking the increase to cell phones or to anything else.?"We have no idea what caused it," Poulsen said in a?statement?issued by the Danish Cancer Society on November 2. Both the?Interphone?study and the group led by Sweden's?Lennart Hardell?have?reported?that long-term cell phone use is associated with higher rates of glioma. (Glioblastoma is a type of glioma.) "I think the data is true and valid,"?Christoffer Johansen?of the?Danish Cancer Society?toldMicrowave News.?Johansen is a member of the team that has been working on the?Danish cohort study, which has been investigating the possible links between cell phones and brain tumors. The group has long maintained that there is no association. (For an analysis of the Danish cohort study, follow this?link.)

Like Poulsen, Johansen did not offer any explanation as to what may have led to the increase.

Joachim Sch?z, who used to work at the Danish Cancer Society and is now with?IARC, could not be reached for comment. Sch?z and?Johansen?were members of the Interphone project and work on the?Danish cohort study.?

Sch?z has long said that he does not believe that cell phones present a brain tumor risk. One of his main arguments against an association has been that national cancer statistics have stayed relatively stable.

November 9

This morning, we heard from Joachim Sch?z, who is travelling in Asia. He tells us that the news about the increase in glioblastoma is "indeed a concern." Like Johansen, Sch?z does not have an explanation for what may be responsible for the uptick in these aggressive brain tumors, but he does not believe that it is because of better diagnostics.

Sch?z added that he sees "no reason to question the quality of the Danish cohort study."
