lnterphone
is
the
largest
cell
phone
study
to
date
,
but
it
did
not
answer
all
questions
about
cell
phone
safety.
Additional
research
is
being
conducted
around
the
world,
and
the
FDA
continues
to
monitor
developments
in
this
field.
International
Cohort
Study
on
Mobile
Phone
Users
(COSMOS)
The
COSMOS
study
aims
to
conduct
long-term
health
monitoring
of
a
large
group
of
people
to
determine
if
there
are
any
health
issues
linked
to
long-term
exposure
to
radio
frequency
energy
from
cell
phone
use.
The
COSMOS
study
will
follow
approximately
300,000
adult
cell
phone
users
in
Europe
for
20
to
30
years.

Risk
of
Brain
Cancer
from
Exposure
to
Radio
Frequency
Fields
in
Childhood
and

(MOBI-KIDS)
MO~I-KID~
is
an
international
study
investigating
the
relat1onsh1p
b~tween
exposure
to
radio
frequency
energy
from
commumcation
technologies
including
cell
phones
and
brain
cancer
in
young
people.
This
is
an
international
multicenter
study
involving
14

Surveillance,
Epidemiology,
and
End
Results
(SEER)
Program
of the National Cancer
Institute
The
National
Cancer
Institute
(NCI)
actively
follows
cancer
statistics
in
the
United
States
to
detect
any
change
in
rates
of
new
cases
for
brain
cancer.
H
cell
phones
play
a
role
in
risk
for
brain
cancer,
rates
should
go
up
,
because
heavy
cell
phone
use
has
been
common
for
quite
some
time
in
the
U.S.
Between
1987
and
2005,
the
overall
age-adjusted
incidence
of
brain
cancer
did
not
increase.
