Tumore della Prostata e campi elettromagnetici ...

 

Pertanto, era pertinente studiare un'associazione con il cancro alla prostata in studi sull'uomo. 

Abbiamo analizzato i dati di due nostri studi precedenti, uno sui tumori cerebrali (solo soggetti deceduti; quelli deceduti per cancro alla prostata sono stati definiti come casi) e un altro sul cancro alla prostata (soggetti viventi) che includevano domande simili sull'uso di telefoni cellulari o cordless. 

L'analisi aggregata ha prodotto per l'uso del telefono cellulare un OR = 1,8, IC 95% = 1,01-3,1, che aumenta nel gruppo con latenza >10 anni a OR = 2,8, IC 95% = 1,5-5,3. Anche l'uso del telefono cordless ha comportato un aumento del rischio, sebbene non statisticamente significativo. 

Prostate cancer and wireless radiation Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second most common cause of cancer deaths in Australian men.1 Worldwide, approximately 1.4 million men were diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2020 alone. 2 Now there’s evidence linking this common and life-threatening disease with the radiofrequency radiation from mobile and cordless phones.3 The new study was conducted by oncologist Professor Lennart Hardell and Michael Carlberg, using data they’d collected from previous studies. ‘The main finding of this study was an increased risk for prostate cancer associated with use of mobile phones,’ the authors said. Their results make compelling reading. They found: men who had used mobile phones for more than ten years had nearly three times (2.8 times) the normal risk of developing prostate cancer; men who used mobile phones for more than 2,000 hours had 2.4 times the normal risk of developing prostate cancer; men who used mobile phones for between 1,000 and 2,000 hours and men who used cordless phones for the same amount of time had 2.3 times the normal risk of developing prostate cancer; men who used mobile and cordless phones had more than double the risk of developing the most malignant type of prostate cancer. Hardell and Carlberg point out that there’s been evidence linking RF radiation with cancer for a very long time. Based on a review of studies, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified RF radiation as a Class 2B (‘possible’) carcinogen in 2011. The 2018 Ramazzini Institute study found further evidence of tumours in exposed animals. The 2018 study by the National Toxicology Program confirmed this finding and showed evidence of lesions in the prostate glands of exposed animals. The 2024 UK (Biobank) study found increased risks of prostate cancer associated with mobile phone use.
