Increased Generational Risk of Colon and Rectal Cancer in Recent Birth Cohorts under Age 40 – the Hypothetical Role of Radiofrequency Radiation from Cell Phones
by Devra L Davis , Aaron M. Pilarcik and Anthony B. Miller
“To determine if there are shifts in patterns of cancer, rates of disease can be evaluated in terms of Generational Risk (GR),
comparing those born recently with those born decades earlier. Using data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), the U.S. Surveillance Epidemiology and End-Results (SEER) Program and Iranian cancer registries, increases
in GR of colon and rectal cancer in those under age 50 are presented. For the U.S. those born in the 1990s have a doubled risk
of colon cancer (GR=2) and a fourfold increase in rectal cancer (GR=4) by the time they reach age 24 compared to those born
six decades ago.”
“Experimental studies have determined that the colon and rectum of Sprague-Dawley rats are exquisitely
sensitive to both ionizing and non-ionizing radiofrequency radiation (RFR), expressing significant differences in patterns of
methylation of a number of well-identified proteins and other biomarkers predictive of cancer risk.”
“French government tests of phones positioned next to the body report exposures to non-ionizing
radiation that are up to 11 times more than current guidelines. Based on these findings, it is prudent to develop policies to
reduce direct exposures to RFR from cell phones, as occurs when they are kept next to the body, and to promote advances in
hardware and software that reduce direct exposures to RFR.”
