Diacor News and Opinion

The largest study ever on whether cell phones cause tumors to the central nervous system has found that cell phones do not cause tumors. The Danish study involved an 18 year period involving 358,403 people, self reportedly the largest study on the topic. The researchers determined that within a 10 year period of cell phone use, that cell phones do not cause brain tumors; however, longer periods than 10 years still need to be examined.

In a new report released by MacMillan, a United Kingdom cancer charity, exercise can greatly benefit cancer survivors. Breast cancer patients' risk of recurrence and dying from the disease can be reduced by 40%, bowel cancer patients' by up to 50%, and prostate cancer patients' by up to 30%. Despite the findings however, most health professionals are not aware of this and are not talking to their patients about it. To view the report on MacMillan's website, please click here.
