Brain cancer incidence in Spain not linked to mobile phones
This ecological study investigated trends in brain cancer incidence to evaluate the potential impact of increased mobile phone use in Spain since the early 2000s. It analysed brain cancer incidence data from 12 Spanish cancer registries, covering the period from 1985 to 2015. The analysis was stratified by age group, with separate evaluations for adults (aged 15 years and older) and children (aged 0 to 14 years). The dataset included 20,325 adult and 2,372 childhood brain cancer cases.
