Could your cell phone cause a brain tumor?
Talking on your cell phone could increase the risk of developing certain cancerous brain tumors. That's the new official stance from scientists with the World Health Organization.
Doctors from 14 countries made the conclusion during a cancer research meeting.
The group said cell phone use should be classified as "possibly carcinogenic."
However, cell phone companies point out the World Health Organization's "possibly carcinogenic" category also includes items such as coffee and pickled vegetables.
Dr. Daniel Pieper is director of neuro-oncology at Beaumont Health System in Royal Oak. He gave Fox 2's Monica Gayle his reaction to this latest finding by the World Health Organization.
