Summary:
This case-control study investigated the association between mobile phone use and parotid gland tumours. A total of 26 cases and 61 controls (all from the same hospital) were recruited in the study. The information on mobile phone use was obtained via questionnaire. Participants were considered exposed if the daily mobile phone use was more than 1 hour. The authors reported a statistically significant association between mobile phone use and parotid gland tumours (odds ratio, OR = 2.93, 95% CI = 1.07 – 8.03). The authors however noted that the results need to be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size.
